> The problem is that for offset to return the correct "live" columns, it has to ignore tombstones it scans before the first live one post-offset.
> This means that instead of being corrected within a few ms of a read, a node can continue returning deleted data indefinitely (until the next anti-entropy pass).
> Coupled with offset's inherent inefficiency (see CASSANDRA-261) I think this means we should take it out and leave offset to be computed client-side (which, for datasets under which it was reasonable server-side, will still be reasonable).
