-------------------------------------------------------------
Except I have no way to prevent those actions from writing data that would hit
the CL afterwards, and we need to be certain this does not happen (so that we
can recycle all of the segments). The only thing we can safely do is wait for
them to finish (unless you have a suggestion :))

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7437
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Benedict
> Assignee: Benedict
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.1.0
>
>
> I've noticed on unit test output that there are still assertions being raised
> here, so I've taken a torch to the code path to make damned certain it cannot
> happen in future
> # We now wait for all running reads on a column family or writes on the
> keyspace during a dropCf call
> # We wait for all appends to the prior commit log segments before recycling
> them
> # We pass the list of dropped Cfs into the CL.forceRecycle call so that they
> can be markedClean definitely after they have been marked finished
> # Finally, to prevent any possibility of this still happening causing any
> negative consequences, I've suppressed the assertion in favour of an error
> log message, as the assertion would break correct program flow for the drop
> and potentially result in undefined behaviour
> -(in actuality there is the slightest possibility still of a race condition
> on read of a secondary index that causes a repair driven write, but this is a
> really tiny race window, as I force wait for all reads after unlinking the
> CF, so it would have to be a read that grabbed the CFS reference before it
> was dropped, but hadn't quite started its read op yet).- In fact this is also
> safe, as these modifications all grab a write op from the Keyspace, which has
> to happen before they get the CFS, and also because we drop the data before
> waiting for reads to finish on the CFS.
