Is removing lots of partition keys an issue if never reading them?
<p>I have a Cassandra table where I'm considering deleting a lot of partitions keys. I'm aware that this will create a lot of tombstones, but can this be an issues if my read patterns is only reading rows by (non-deleted) partition keys? For example, can there be issues (I'm thinking exceptions/timeouts here, not slowness) with compaction if I have a lot of tombstones?</p>
