----------------------------------------------
[~maedhroz] Would it be reasonable to target this for 4.0.x?
> Make TokenMetadata's ring version increments atomic

> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug

>
> The update semantics of the ring version in {{TokenMetadata}} are not clear.
> The instance variable itself is {{volatile}}, but it is still incremented by
> a non-atomic check-and-set, and not all codepaths do that while holding the
> {{TokenMetadata}} write lock. We could make this more intelligible by forcing
> the external callers to use both the write when invalidating the ring and
> read lock when reading the current ring version. Most of the readers of the
> ring version (ex. compaction) don't need it to be fast, but it shouldn't be a
> problem even if they do. If we do this, we should be able to avoid a
> situation where concurrent invalidations don't produce two distinct version
> increments.
