> It should be possible to do a "major" tombstone compaction by including all sstables, but writing them out 1:1, meaning that if you have 10 sstables before, you will have 10 sstables after the compaction with the same data, minus all the expired tombstones.
> We could do this in two ways:
> # a nodetool command that includes _all_ sstables
> # once we detect that an sstable has more than x% (20%?) expired tombstones, we start one of these compactions, and include all overlapping sstables that contain older data.
