Michael Semb Wever created CASSANDRA-21517:
----------------------------------------------

             Summary: Guardrail values of zero to mean literally zero (i.e. 
disabled)
                 Key: CASSANDRA-21517
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-21517
             Project: Apache Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Feature/Guardrails
            Reporter: Michael Semb Wever
            Assignee: Michael Semb Wever


Guardrail values of -1 and 0 both mean unlimited.

https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-6.0/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/db/guardrails/MaxThreshold.java#L60

This comes from CASSANDRA-17212 and appears to have been an oversight.

This creates difficulties when you need finer control of the guardrails, like 
not being able to configure "more than 0 is a warning" or "more than 0 is a 
failure".

For example, a typically recommended approach to secondary indexes would be as
{code}
# disable secondary_indexes
secondary_indexes_total_fail_threshold = 0
# disable sasi
sasi_indexes_total_fail_threshold: 0
# unlimited sai, but max ten per table
sai_indexes_per_table_fail_threshold: 10
sai_indexes_total_fail_threshold: -1
{code}
