---------------------------------------------

             Summary: Distinguish between CAS prepare and propose failures
                 Key: CASSANDRA-12625
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12625
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Christopher Batey
            Assignee: Christopher Batey
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 3.x


I spoke to a lot of users at the summit and had the feedback that the hardest 
part of building applications using LWTs is dealing with WriteTimeouts of type 
CAS.

Following up from https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8672 I think 
we should add a separate WriteType for timing out during the prepare phase 
assuming we can advise users to retry the operation or be confident it has 
failed as it won't be completed by a later SERIAL read or LWT.

We can't remove the ambiguity at the propose phase but this will remove one of 
the unknown cases.

Happy to do a patch for this but assuming it will need a native protocol change 
when can we do it?
