Description

As seen in CASSANDRA-14685, the behavior of incremental repair sessions with failed streams is not obvious and appears to be a bug (although it's working as expected). The incremental repair documentation should be updated to describe what happens if an incremental repair session fails mid-stream, the session timeouts, and how and when to use nodetool repair_admin. The sstable acquisition error should also be updated to mention this as well.
