Benedict created CASSANDRA-14590:
------------------------------------
Summary: Size of fixed-width write values not verified from peers
Key: CASSANDRA-14590
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14590
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Benedict
Assignee: Benedict
Fix For: 4.0, 3.0.x, 3.11.x
There are any number of reasons data arriving on a node might be corrupt in a
manner that can ultimately pollute non-corrupt data. CASSANDRA-14568 is just
one example. In this bug’s case, invalid clusterings were sent to a legacy
version peer, which eventually sent them back to a latest version peer. In
either case, verification of the size of the values arriving would have
prevented the corruption spreading, or affecting whole-sstable operations
containing the values.
I propose verifying the fixed-width types arriving from peers, and also on
serialization. The former permits rejecting the write with an exception, and
preventing the write being ACK’d, or polluting memtables (thus maintaining
update atomicity without affecting more records). The latter will be a
guarantee that this corruption cannot make it to an sstable via any other route
(e.g. a bug internal to the node)
