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

Are you proposing a new policy, or changing the behavior of the "stop" policy?

> 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).
