Marcus Eriksson commented on CASSANDRA-6654:
--------------------------------------------
Yes, it is intended, we cannot drop tombstones if they might cover live data in
other sstables.
It has improved a lot in 2.1 though, but iirc the change was quite complicated
so backporting to 2.0 was not an option.
bq. For the use case targeted by Keith Wright would the best workaround is to
stick with the implied forever TTL on most columns (don't specify one) and just
set TTL for these shorter lived values?
I think splitting up the data and keeping data with different life times in
different tables might be a better way here.
Another workaround I've seen before is using STCS and scheduling weekly major
compactions, that will get rid of all tombstones.

> JMX is showing that one of our CQL3 LCS tables has a droppable tombstone
> ratio above 20% and increasing (currently at 28%). Compactions are not
> falling behind and we are using the OOTB setting for this feature so I would
> expect not to go above 20% (will attach screen shot from JMX). Table
