Add a per-table large_data_guardrails_enabled flag controlled via the CQL table property WITH large_data_guardrails_enabled = true|false. Store the flag as a boolean column in system_schema_ext.scylla_tables. Only write a live cell when enabled; when disabled (the default), omit the cell entirely so that old nodes that don't know this column can still read the SSTable during rolling upgrade or rollback. When the property transitions from true to false via ALTER TABLE, a tombstone is written in make_update_table_mutations to override the previous live cell — this is safe because the CQL feature gate ensures all nodes are upgraded before the property can be set to true. Gate the CQL property behind the LARGE_DATA_GUARDRAILS cluster feature: attempting to set large_data_guardrails_enabled = true before all nodes advertise the feature raises a ConfigurationException.

If you can use an existing folder, consider adding your test to it. New folders should be used for new large categories/subsystems, or when the test environment is significantly different from some existing suite, e.g. you plan to start scylladb with different configuration, and you intend to add many tests and would like them to reuse an existing Scylla cluster (clusters can be reused for tests within the same folder).
To add a new folder, create a new directory, and then
copy & edit its suite.ini.
