Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-18796:
----------------------------------------------
bq. issue a WARN if the number of sstables searched is over some threshold
Seems like we could have a warn and fail guardrail based on the number of
sstables searched and both could have reasonable defaults to prevent the
'untuned LCS' case from happening.
> Optionally fail when a non-partition-restricted query is issued against a
> storage-attached index with a backing table using LCS

> With LCS, we will have potentially thousands of SSTables for a given user
> table. Storage-attached also means SSTable-attached, and searching thousands
> of attached indexes is not going to scale well at all locally, due to the
> sheer number of searches and amount of postings list merging involved. We
> should have a guardrail to prohibit this by default.
> Partition-restricted queries, the use-case SAI is broadly designed for,
> should be very efficient.
