---------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> LocalDelivery failure when mailbox counter update
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: JAMES-3886
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-3886
> Project: James Server
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: cassandra, mailbox
> Affects Versions: 3.7.3
> Reporter: Benoit Tellier
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.8.0, 3.7.4
>
> Time Spent: 20m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> As part of a customer support contract, we noticed that a failure to update
> mailbox counters results in a delivery failures.
> Log line:
> {code:java}
> 2023-02-10T10:10:57,537 [WARN ] o.a.j.t.m.d.MailDispatcher - Error While
> storing mail. This error will be retried.
> com.datastax.driver.core.exceptions.WriteTimeoutException: Cassandra timeout
> during COUNTER write query at consistency ONE (1 replica were required but
> only 0 acknowledged the write)
> {code}
> Consistency level ONE usage is inherent to counter usage. Thus errors are to
> be expected in case of single Cassandra node failure.
> I hereby proposes to IGNORE failure to update counters and just fire a
> WARNING log to inform the administrator.
> Rationnals:
> - The mail is already stored in a mailbox
> - counters can be seen as not business critical but a mere indicator
> - And we have the tools (applicative read repairs + corrective tasks) to fix
> the inconsistencies CF
