[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-8499) Ensure SSTableWriter cleans up properly after failure

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8499?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14253683#comment-14253683 ] 

Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-8499:
-------------------------------------

Everytime we fail to complete a flush or compaction we will leak the bloom filter data, so it is probably not _that_ uncommon. It's also a pretty small fix. But pretty agnostic about it, really, since clusters seem to have been surviving with it for years.

> In 2.0 we do not free a bloom filter, in 2.1 we do not free a small piece of offheap memory for writing compression metadata. In both we attempt to flush the BF despite having encountered an exception, making the exception slow to propagate.
