Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-3564:
---------------------------------------------
bq. You mean send SIGINT/SIGTERM before waiting and SIGKILL after right?
Oops, I misread, disregard that.
One thing that occurs to me now though, is that as an admin, I'd probably be
annoyed by waiting 100s for something to shutdown (and it's not completely
unreasonable for flush to take that long.) Generally I want things to shutdown
asap, and startup time be damned, which I understand is counter to the purpose
of this ticket, but still I think we should put the WAIT_FOR_STOP in
/etc/default/cassandra as well as a flag to enable/disable this behavior.
> flush before shutdown so restart is faster

> Cassandra handles flush in its shutdown hook for durable_writes=false CFs
> (otherwise we're *guaranteed* to lose data) but leaves it up to the operator
> otherwise. I'd rather leave it that way to offer these semantics:
> - cassandra stop = shutdown nicely [explicit flush, then kill -int]
> - kill -INT = shutdown faster but don't lose any updates [current behavior]
> - kill -KILL = lose most recent writes unless durable_writes=true and batch
> commits are on [also current behavior]
> But if it's not reasonable to use nodetool from the init script then I guess
> we can just make the shutdown hook flush everything.
