Currently, Scylla logs a warning when it writes a cell, row or partition which are larger than certain configured sizes. These warnings contain the partition key and in case of rows and cells also the cluster key which allow the large row or partition to be identified. However, these keys can contain user-private, sensitive information. The information which identifies the partition/row/cell is also inserted into tables system.large_partitions, system.large_rows and system.large_cells respectivelly.
This change removes the partition and cluster keys from the log messages, but still inserts them into the system tables.
The logged data will look like this:
Large cells:

Large rows:

Large partitions:
