No, these were not wide rows. They are rows that formerly had one or 2 columns. The columns
are deleted but the empty rows dont go away, even after gc_grace_secs.
So if I understand... the empty row will only be removed after gc_grace if enough compactions
have occurred so that all the column tombstones for the empty row are in a single SSTable
file?

Minor compaction will remove the tombstones if the row only exists in the sstable being compaction.
Are these very wide rows that are constantly written to ?
