T Jake Luciani commented on CASSANDRA-7565: ------------------------------------------- I think new would be best to avoid any confusion. > Extend diskFailurePolicy to die instantly on failure > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-7565 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7565 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: T Jake Luciani > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.1.1 > > > Somewhat related to CASSANDRA-7507 we should extend the diskFailurePolicy to > be set to "kill". Currently "stop" only shuts down the transports. This > isn't enough since compaction keeps running. > In a JBOD setup the dead disk may contain important data like the system > tables. In the case that leveled compaction keeps running it will mess up > the levels so suddenly the data becomes overlapped if the disk is only > temporarily broken (bad firmware). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
