Benedict updated CASSANDRA-15066:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
CASSANDRA-8457 introduced asynchronous networking to internode messaging, but 
there have been several follow-up endeavours to improve some semantic issues.  
CASSANDRA-14503 and CASSANDRA-13630 are the latest such efforts, and were 
combined some months ago into a single overarching refactor of the original 
work, to address some of the issues that have been discovered.  Given the 
criticality of this work to the project, we wanted to bring some more eyes to 
bear to ensure the release goes ahead smoothly.  In doing so, we uncovered a 
number of issues with messaging, some of which long standing, that we felt 
needed to be addressed.  This patch widens the scope of CASSANDRA-14503 and 
CASSANDRA-13630 in an effort to close the book on the messaging service, at 
least for the foreseeable future.

The patch includes a number of clarifying refactors that touch outside of the 
{{net.async}} package, and a number of semantic changes to the {{net.async}} 
packages itself.  We believe it clarifies the intent and behaviour of the code 
while improving system stability, which we will outline in comments below.
