> Key: CASSANDRA-3273
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3273
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Brandon Williams
> Assignee: Brandon Williams
> Fix For: 0.8.7

> Attachments: 3273.txt

>
> There are two ways to trigger this:
> * Bring a node up very briefly in a mixed-version cluster and then terminate
> it
> * Bring a node up, terminate it for a very long time, then bring it back up
> and take it down again
> In the first case, what can happen is a very short interval arrival time is
> recorded by the versioning logic which requires reconnecting and can happen
> very quickly. This can easily be solved by rejecting any intervals within a
> reasonable bound, for instance the gossiper interval.
> The second instance is harder to solve, because what is happening is that an
> extremely large interval is recorded, which is the time the node was left
> dead the first time. This throws off the mean of the intervals and causes it
> to take a much longer time than it should to mark it down the second time.
