> We have an extra large partition of 40 million cells where most of the cells were deleted. When querying this partition with a slice query, Cassandra runs out of memory as tombstones fill up the JVM heap. After debugging one of the large SSTable we found that this part of the code loads all the tombstones.
> In org.apache.cassandra.db.filter.QueryFilter
> ...
> public static Iterator<Cell> gatherTombstones(final ColumnFamily returnCF, final Iterator<? extends OnDiskAtom> iter)
>     {
> ...
> while (iter.hasNext())
>                 {
>                     OnDiskAtom atom = iter.next();
>                     if (atom instanceof Cell)
>                     {
>                         next = (Cell)atom;
>                         break;
>                     }
>                     else
>                     {
>                         returnCF.addAtom(atom);
>                     }
>                 }
> ...
