Tombstones stay around until gc grace so you could lower that to see of that fixes the performance issues.
If the tombstones get collected,the column will live again, causing data inconsistency since I cant run a repair during the regular operations. Not sure if I got your thoughts on this. Size tiered or leveled comparison? I'm actuallly running on Size Tiered Compaction, but I've been looking into changing it for Leveled. It seems to be the case. Although even if I achieve some performance, I would still have the same problem with the deleted columns. I need something to keep the deleted columns away from my query fetch. Not only the tombstones. It looks like the min compaction might help on this. But I'm not sure yet on what would be a reasonable value for its threeshold.
