Stefan Podkowinski commented on CASSANDRA-14517:
------------------------------------------------
I'm a bit confused what kind of guarantees related to atomicity and partial
updates this ticket refers to. How can any potential SRP triggered extra reads
(which are only regular reads) on the coordinator break guarantees that
partition updates will be atomic?

> Key: CASSANDRA-14517

> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Blake Eggleston
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 4.0

>
> If a read is performed in two parts due to short read protection, and the
> data being read is written to between reads, the coordinator will return a
> partial update. Specifically, this will occur if a single partition batch
> updates clustering values on both sides of the SRP break, or if a range
> tombstone is written that deletes data on both sides of the break. At the
> coordinator level, this breaks the expectation that updates to a partition
> are atomic, and that you can’t see partial updates.
