Robert Coli commented on CASSANDRA-2958:
----------------------------------------
> "a memtable holds changes until it hits a flush condition like being full or
> graceful shutdown, or you explicitly flush it."
This is not an unambiguous summary of the current behavior. It is true only if
durable_writes are off. If durable_writes are on, graceful shutdown does not
flush.
"a memtable holds changes until it hits a flush condition like being full (or,
if durable_writes are disabled, on graceful shutdown), or you explicitly flush
it"
Seems to unambiguously describe the current behavior and doesn't read very well.
I gather from CASSANDRA-3564 that there is interest in extending this
flush-on-graceful shutdown behavior to occur in all cases of graceful shutdown.
If that happens, your sentence will be a correct summation of Cassandra's newly
predictable behavior. It will also answer my primary objection here, which is
that the flush only occurs in *some* graceful shutdown cases. :)
