So , right now, I have a full cassandra cluster… all my nodes are down. Fun!
And I have a table, which I could just issue a truncate command to. It's just a log table so dropping the data is fine. but instead, I can't do that because my cluster is completely offline. Now, the disk failure policy of stop is still ideal, because I don't want INSERTs to partially work, but having some type of basic data manipulation CQL like DROP TABLE or TRUNCATE TABLE would be nice. And realistically, how do you even recover from this situation? You can't compact the table, and you can't delete data or truncate the table either. So when your cluster fills up, it's just dead.
