Edward Capriolo commented on CASSANDRA-15082:
---------------------------------------------

Why is it 5? Could it be a variable? Could it be an option when creating the 
table? Why or why not?

 

It hard to a close it as a duplicate when no one is engaging with either ticket 
in a meaningful way. Can anyone actually use this feature without a read before 
write? It seems like the risk is fairly high that someone could accidentally 
with a forloop send the same row 5 times and hopeless corrupt the table.

> I do not know what the "improvement" should be here, but I ran into this:
> [https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-3.11/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/index/sasi/disk/OnDiskIndexBuilder.java#L585]
> Term '55.3' belongs to more than 5 keys in sparse mode, which is not allowed.
> The only reference I can find to the limit is here:

> This seems awkward. A user can insert more then 5 rows into a table, and it 
> "works". IE you can write and you can query that table getting more than 5 
> results, but the index will not flush to disk. It throws an IOException.
> Maybe I am misunderstanding, but this seems impossible to support, if users 
> inserts the same value 5 times, the entire index will not flush to disk?
