Alex Petrov commented on CASSANDRA-10726:
-----------------------------------------

Thank you! 

A couple more nits: 
   * 
[here|https://github.com/bdeggleston/cassandra/commit/7b753828e38bb92884219867e10d01e4f4184da6#diff-b677a5a6a3f1a90a889bcf906c1f8001R56]
 here switch to {{ConcurrentMap}} seems to be unnecessary. If it's for explicit 
contract, I don't mind to leave it.

 we break unconditionally, so we might want to remove loop. I realise that the 
collection might be empty though, in which case this might be justified.

 I'm not 100% on board with rename as we're delegating the call to 
{{repair.maybeSendAdditionalRepairs}}, I think renaming {{awaitReads}} was 
enough. Or, if writes here are meant in the context of repair anyways, we 
should rename delegated method. Whichever way you might prefer.

> Today, if there’s a digest mismatch in a foreground read repair, the insert 
> to update out of date replicas is blocking. This means, if it fails, the read 
> fails with a timeout. If a node is dropping writes (maybe it is overloaded or 
> the mutation stage is backed up for some other reason), all reads to a 
> replica set could fail. Further, replicas dropping writes get more out of 
> sync so will require more read repair.
> The comment on the code for why the writes are blocking is:
> {code}
> // wait for the repair writes to be acknowledged, to minimize impact on any 
> replica that's
> // behind on writes in case the out-of-sync row is read multiple times in 
> quick succession
> {code}
> but the bad side effect is that reads timeout. Either the writes should not 
> be blocking or we should return success for the read even if the write times 
> out.
