             Summary: Tombstone/Partition not purged after gc_grace_seconds
                 Key: CASSANDRA-15069
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-15069
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Local/Compaction, Local/SSTable
            Reporter: Pedro Gordo
             Fix For: 3.11.3
         Attachments: schema.cql, sstables.tar

During a tombstone purge (reducing gc_grace_seconds to zero and running 
`nodetool garbagecollect`), I noticed that when doing a dump of the SSTable, 
sometimes, there are a few partitions that do not get completely purged, even 
with gc_grace_seconds set to zero. I was able to replicate this in a small test 
dataset, from which I have attached the SSTable files and the schema to this 
ticket so that you can verify this as well. 
Doing a dump of the mc-51-big-Data.db file, you'll notice the following 
partition:

 {
    "partition" : {
      "key" : [ "96" ],
      "position" : 285,
      "deletion_info" : { "marked_deleted" : "2019-03-14T21:31:55.244490Z", 
"local_delete_time" : "2019-03-14T21:31:55Z" }
    },
    "rows" : [ ]
  },

As you can see, the rows were removed correctly by the garbagecollect, but the 
partition record, continues there, and never goes away.
>From the client side, no data is returned, so it's good there. But regardless 
>of that, this partition should not be present in the SSTable file.
