do I understand it correctly if I think that collection modifications are done by reading the collection, writing a range tombstone that would cover the collection and then re-writing the whole collection again? or is it just the modified parts of the collection that are covered by the range tombstones, but you still get massive amounts of them and its just their number that is the problem.
would this explain the slowdown of writes too? I guess it would if cassandra needed to read the collection before it wrote the new values, otherwise I don't understand how this affects writes, but that only says how much I know about how this works.
