> Flaky dtest: [test_dead_sync_initiator -
> repair_tests.repair_test.TestRepair|https://ci-cassandra.apache.org/view/all/job/Cassandra-devbranch-dtest/143/testReport/junit/dtest.repair_tests.repair_test/TestRepair/test_dead_sync_initiator/]
> In the above test, it executes "nodetool repair" on node1 and kills node2
> during repair. At the end, node3 reports checksum validation failure on
> sstable transferred from node1.
> {code:java|title=what happened}
> 1. When repair started on node1, it performs anti-compaction which modifies
> sstable's repairAt to 0 and pending repair id to session-id.
> 2. Then node1 creates {{ComponentManifest}} which contains file lengths to be
> transferred to node3.
> 3. Before node1 actually sends the files to node3, node2 is killed and node1
> starts to broadcast repair-failure-message to all participants in
> {{CoordinatorSession#fail}}
> 4. Node1 receives its own repair-failure-message and fails its local repair
> sessions at {{LocalSessions#failSession}} which triggers async background
> compaction.
> 5. Node1's background compaction will mutate sstable's repairAt to 0 and
> pending repair id to null via
> {{PendingRepairManager#getNextRepairFinishedTask}}, as there is no more
> in-progress repair.
> 6. Node1 actually sends the sstable to node3 where the sstable's STATS
> component size is different from the original size recorded in the manifest.
> 7. At the end, node3 reports checksum validation failure when it tries to
> mutate sstable level and "isTransient" attribute in
> {{CassandraEntireSSTableStreamReader#read}}.
> {code}
> I believe similar race may happen with level compaction where it may directly
> mutate a sstable's level if it doesn't overlap with sstables at next level.
> (Note: this isn't a problem in legacy streaming as STATS file length didn't
> matter.)
> Ideally it will be great to make sstable STATS metadata immutable, just like
> other sstable components, so we don't have to worry this special case.
> I can think of two ways:
> # Change {{RepairFinishedCompactionTask}}, {{AntiCompaction}} and
> {{SingleSSTableLCSTask}} to create hard link on the compacting sstable
> components with a new descriptor, except STATS files which will be copied
> entirely. Then mutation will be applied on the new STATS file. At the end,
> old sstable will be released. This ensures all sstable components are
> immutable and shouldn't make these special compaction tasks slower.
> # Hacky approach: load the small STATS file into memory when initializing
> {{CassandraOutgoingFile}} instead of relying on mutable on-disk STATS file.
