Jordan West commented on CASSANDRA-14499:
-----------------------------------------
[~jeromatron] I understand those concerns. This would be opt-in for folks who
wanted automatic action taken and any such action should take care to not cause
the node to flap, for example. One use case where we see this as valuable is
QA/perf/test clusters that may not have the full monitoring setup but need to
be protected from errant clients filling up disks to a point where worse things
happen. The warning system can be accomplished today with monitoring and
alerting on the same metrics.

> Priority: Major
>
> Operators should be able to specify, via YAML, the amount of usable disk
> space on a node as a percentage of the total available or as an absolute
> value. If both are specified, the absolute value should take precedence. This
> allows operators to reserve space available to the database for background
> tasks -- primarily compaction. When a node reaches its quota, gossip should
> be disabled to prevent it taking further writes (which would increase the
> amount of data stored), being involved in reads (which are likely to be more
> inconsistent over time), or participating in repair (which may increase the
> amount of space used on the machine). The node re-enables gossip when the
> amount of data it stores is below the quota.
> The proposed option differs from {{min_free_space_per_drive_in_mb}}, which
> reserves some amount of space on each drive that is not usable by the
> database.
