This test reproduces an issue where a topology change and an ongoing write query during query coordinator shutdown can cause the node to get stuck. When a node receives a write request, it creates a write handler that holds a copy of the current table's ERM (Effective Replication Map). The ERM ensures that no topology or schema changes occur while the request is being processed. After the query coordinator receives the required number of replica write ACKs to satisfy the consistency level (CL), it sends a reply to the client. However, the write response handler remains alive until all replicas respond — the remaining writes are handled in the background. During shutdown, when all network connections are closed, these responses can no longer be received. As a result, the write response handler is only destroyed once the write timeout is reached. This becomes problematic because the ERM held by the handler blocks topology or schema change commands from executing. Since shutdown waits for these commands to complete, this can lead to unnecessary delays in node shutdown and restarts, and occasional test case failures. Test for: scylladb/scylladb#23665

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.
