Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-1717:
-------------------------------------------
I'd rather not add more configuration complexity for this.
What is the downside to doing it at column index level? Feels like a good
compromise between overhead and granularity to me.
> Cassandra cannot detect corrupt-but-readable column data

> Most corruptions of on-disk data due to bitrot render the column (or row)
> unreadable, so the data can be replaced by read repair or anti-entropy. But
> if the corruption keeps column data readable we do not detect it, and if it
> corrupts to a higher timestamp value can even resist being overwritten by
> newer values.
