How to get count of number of tombstones present in each table of keyspace?
I have extracted TombstoneScannedHistogram to check tombstone count can you help to how to check exact count using this
Also please help me with steps to get this count by any other method available
There isn't a way of getting the tombstone count without reading all the data in the tables so there isn't a tool/utility to do this.
There really isn't a valid scenario where knowing the tombstone count would be helpful so the ability to do this doesn't exist.
As a side note, I suspect you're asking this question because you have a tombstone problem as a result of a high-delete workload/use case. We are limited in our ability to assist you with the Q&A format of this forum. Please log a ticket with DataStax Support so one of our engineers can assist you. Cheers!
