Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-7275:
-------------------------------------
That all sounds eminently reasonable, although I don't know much about the
system tables. So long as we make sure there aren't any that could be corrupted
and be non-recoverable, we're good in my book, and I'll let others more
qualified make the decision about which tables that's true of. We should
probably introduce some tests to ensure this is indeed safe for each table,
though.

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Tyler Hobbs

> In Memtable.FlushRunnable, the CountDownLatch will never be counted down if
> there are errors, which results in hanging any threads that are waiting for
> the flush to complete. For example, an error like this causes the problem:
> {noformat}
