T Jake Luciani commented on CASSANDRA-1717:
-------------------------------------------
Right, I think given that we are using block compression it really only makes
sense todo checksums at the block level, I just didn't know what recovery tools
we can build.
Sounds like using the row index we could go repair the range containing the bad
block(s) from replicas.

> 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.
