Andres de la Peña commented on CASSANDRA-17212:
-----------------------------------------------
[~benedict] sorry for the late response, I missed this right before holidays.
Guardrails are meant to be optional safety limits replacing most of what is in
the [{{SAFETY
THRESHOLDS}}|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/96c80f0b89314dc805714c52dcf1846491c53cdc/conf/cassandra.yaml#L1358-L1360]
section that was added to {{cassandra.yaml}} by CASSANDRA-11529. I understand
that the criteria to decide whether a limit is classified as a guardrail is the
optional nature of guardrails: you don't strictly need them, but they allow to
run the cluster more safely. I guess the yaml will be a bit confusing until we
have finished to migrate relevant limits to guardrails, which hopefully
shouldn't take that long.
Guardrails are nested under the {{guardrails}} section on {{cassandra.yaml}} so
we can globally enable/disable them with the
[{{guardrails.enabled}}|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/96c80f0b89314dc805714c52dcf1846491c53cdc/conf/cassandra.yaml#L1587-L1588]
config property. I wouldn't be against changing the name to something perhaps
more self descriptive such as {{safety_limits}} or something like that, but I
think that nesting them under a common key is useful for setting global
properties such as {{{}enable{}}}, and it also helps to give some structure to
the yaml.
