Re: row tombstones as a separate sstable citizen

re: the tombstone sstables being read-only inputs to compaction, there would be one case the non-tombstone sstables would input to the compaction of the row tombstones: when the row no longer exists in any of the data sstables with respect to the row tombstone timestamp. There may be other

Re: row tombstones as a separate sstable citizen

I'm particularly interested in getting the tombstones to "promote" up the levels of LCS more quickly. Currently they get attached at the low level and don't propagate up to higher levels until enough activity at a lower level promotes the data. Meanwhile, LCS means compactions can occur in
