Ariel Weisberg commented on CASSANDRA-9265:
-------------------------------------------
I am not super excited about churning code in 2.1 since this is not a bug fix.
I lean much harder than the project traditionally does against fixing warts.
Would doing it in 2.2 have the same value?
> Add checksum to saved cache files

> Saved caches are not covered by a checksum. We should at least emit a
> checksum. My suggestion is a large checksum of the whole file (convenient
> offline validation), and then smaller per record checksums after each record
> is written (possibly a subset of the incrementally maintained larger
> checksum).
> I wouldn't go for anything fancy to try to recover from corruption since it
> is just a saved cache. If corruption is detected while reading I would just
> have it bail out. I would rather have less code to review and test in this
> instance.
