Subject: High IO and poor read performance on 3.11.2 cassandra cluster
We have 3 node cassandra cluster (3.11.2) in single dc.

We have written 450 million records on the table with LCS. The write latency is 
fine.  After write we perform read and update operations.

When we run read+update operations on newly inserted 1 million records (on top 
of 450 m records) then the read latency and io usage is under control. However 
when we perform read+update on old 1 million records which are part of 450 
million records we observe high read latency (The performance goes down by 4 
times in comparison 1st case ).  We have not observed major gc pauses.

system information:
cpu core :  24
disc type : ssd . we are using raid with deadline schedular
