Clean shutdown waits for commitlog flush. Unclean shutdown does not. In
default periodic mode, this could mean up to 10 seconds of loss. If you
don't want to lose up to 10 seconds, use batch commitlog mode or... just
shut down cleanly?

There are also cases in your vintage Cassandra where data in secondary
indexes has not been available, in case you are querying on those.
