Description

Let's load a cluster up with data and start killing nodes. We can do hard failures (node terminations) and soft failures (process kills) We plan to observe the following:

• Can nodes successfully bootstrap?
• How long does it take to bootstrap
• What are the effects of TLS on and off (e.g. on stream time)
• Are hints properly played after a node restart
• Do nodes properly shutdown and start back up.
