Exactly. It is merged with new one. Example 1: a row with 1 column in sstable. delete a row, not a column. after compaction or cleanup in sstable will exist an empty row key with tombstone. Example 2: a row with 1 column in sstable. delete a column. after compaction or cleanup in sstable will exist a row with 1 column with tombstone. Question: why delete operation is requested from application for a row/column that is already deleted (can't be returned by get)?
