Perhaps not surprisingly, folks active in the other ticket (for determining partition size) also have a ticket to blacklist large partitions: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12106 Again, not complete, but it's an active topic of discussion and may appear in future versions. In the mean time, having your application maintain a list of 'blacklisted' partitions may be a suitable workaround.
