> In CASSANDRA-11448 in an effort to give a more thorough handling of flush errors I have introduced a possible correctness bug with disk failure policy ignore if a flush fails with an error:
> - we report the error but continue
> - we correctly do not update the commit log with the flush position
> - but we allow the post-flush executor to resume
> - a successful later flush can thus move the log's clear position beyond the data from the failed flush
> - the log will then delete segment(s) that contain unflushed data.
> After CASSANDRA-9669 it is relatively easy to fix this problem by making the commit log track sets of intervals of unflushed data (as described in CASSANDRA-8496).
