[~adelapena] do you have a moment to review guardrail part of this at least?
[~mck] what do you think about eligibility of this patch to be included in 5.0? One can view this as a security hole as a malicious user can "DDOS" a node / cluster with tons of SSTables, making it unstable / fill the disks. I think we should fix this.

> Currently, Cassandra database users can use sstableloader to bulk load data into Cassandra. However, for a Cassandra operator, there is no way to forcibly block this behavior. Additionally, there is no metric indicating whether the bulk load is being used on the server side. If a client is using sstableloader, they will also need to upgrade the sstableloader code to the new major version. This lack of control and visibility can become a blocker during a major version upgrade.
>
> 1. Can we add a config to disable bulk load feature? Or it falls into https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8303
> 2. Can we add metrics for bulk load used on server end?
