Josh McKenzie commented on CASSANDRA-17679:
-------------------------------------------
bq. the feature is known to be broken
The feature is _suspected_ to be broken. Strongly suspected, but there's a
difference.
If you feel strongly about this Paulo we should remove the feature unless
someone's willing to step forward and both advocate for it as well as propose a
path to thoroughly proving its correctness and fixing issues that are uncovered
with the feature.

> Key: CASSANDRA-17679
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-17679
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Consistency/Streaming
> Reporter: Josh McKenzie
> Assignee: Josh McKenzie
> Priority: Normal
> Fix For: 4.x
>
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> From the patch I'm working on:
> {code}
> # In certain environments, operators may want to disable resumable bootstrap
> in order to avoid potential correctness
> # violations or data loss scenarios. Largely this centers around nodes going
> down during bootstrap, tombstones being
> # written, and potential races with repair. By default we leave this on as
> it's been enabled for quite some time,
> # however the option to disable it is more palatable now that we have zero
> copy streaming as that greatly accelerates
> # bootstraps. This defaults to true.
> # resumable_bootstrap_enabled: true
> {code}
> Not really a great fit for guardrails as it's less a "feature to be toggled
> on and off" and more a subset of a specific feature that in certain
> circumstances can lead to issues.
