Description

During repair, sometimes repair bring in lot of data and the disk gets full on the node. A cassandra node should better protect itself by monitoring its disk space and pausing incoming streams.

Outgoing throttle can help but this automatic check will make operations easier.

Lot of improvements have been done on repair specially incremental repairs which makes this less of a problem but I think this could still be useful and will avoid operator shooting itself in the foot.
