Colleagues,

Has anyone tried the final recommendation "How to enable data checksums in a multi-node cluster without downtime" in https://twitter.com/samokhvalov/status/1719969573318082822 ?

Is it really safe to have checksums enabled on a replica (even for a while) while the primary is still running with checksums disabled?
