-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Extend diskFailurePolicy to die instantly on failure
                 Key: CASSANDRA-7565
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7565
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: T Jake Luciani
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.1.1


Somewhat related to CASSANDRA-7507 we should extend the diskFailurePolicy to be 
set to "kill".  Currently "stop" only shuts down the transports.  This isn't 
enough since compaction keeps running.    

In a JBOD setup the dead disk may contain important data like the system 
tables.  In the case that leveled compaction keeps running it will mess up the 
levels so suddenly the data becomes overlapped if the disk is only temporarily 
broken (bad firmware).
