Caleb Rackliffe commented on CASSANDRA-18796:
---------------------------------------------

bq. You have that many with a 3 level LCS.

Exactly. That's kind of the point. As [~mike_tr_adamson] mentions above...

bq. From observation, we have seen that queries on large clusters start to 
falter when the number of sstables gets in the hundreds

Anyway, I'll create a patch here w/ 32/-1 if I'm the only person that doesn't 
want the fail threshold to be infinite.

> 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.
