James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-2221:
---------------------------------------
+1 to [~rajeshbabu]'s idea to reuse INDEX_DISABLE_TIMESTAMP.
Instead of adding a new config parameter (INDEX_FAILURE_BLOCK_WRITE_ATTRIB),
how about we use INDEX_RECOVERY_FAILURE_POLICY_KEY to a new class that
implements the IndexFailurePolicy interface?
Just to confirm, this is a system-wide setting, not a per table option, correct?
Also, transactions are nearing completion which will guarantee indexes to be
transactionally consistent with the data table. IMHO, this is a much cleaner,
crisper answer to this issue. Are we sure we want to introduce another
semi-hack to deal with consistency issues?

> In one usecase, it was deemed better to not accept writes when the index
> regions are unavailable for any reason (as opposed to disabling the index and
> the queries doing bigger data-table scans).
> The idea is that the index regions are kept consistent with the data regions,
> and when a query runs against the index regions, one can be reasonably sure
> that the query ran with the most recent data in the data regions. When the
> index regions are unavailable, the writes to the data table are rejected.
> Read queries off of the index regions would have deterministic performance
> (and on the other hand if the index is disabled, then the read queries would
> have to go to the data regions until the indexes are rebuilt, and the queries
> would suffer).
