How to minimize side effects induced by tombstones when using deletion?

[Jing Meng]

Hi there.


We have a keyspace containing tons of records, and deletions are used as
enforced by its business logic.

As the data accumulates, we are suffering from performance penalty due to
tombstones, still confusing about what could be done to minimize the harm,
or shall we avoid any deletions and adapt our code?

FYI, if it’s concerned, we are using C* 2.1.18.


Thanks for your urgent replying.
