This is reference to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4314

in which Jonathan Ellis instructed me (I think me) to

"If you compact the index CF with this patch applied, that should get rid of 
the tombstones. (compacting the data CF won't do anything.)"

However, after much looking I cannot see a way to actually do this?  Is it 
automatic?

Subject: how to compact an index CF?

I have an index to a column IX in column family A.

How would I go about compacting that?  I have tried nodetool compact keyspace 
A.IX

But that complains "Unknown table/cf pair"

I'm sure there must be some simple magic to make this happen.  I just cannot 
tell what it is.
