Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-3554: ------------------------------------------- The problem I have with a "brute force" hourly scan or hint threshold is that you're likely to run into the same overload scenario that caused the hinting in the first place. > Hints are not replayed unless node was marked down > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-3554 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3554 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Jonathan Ellis > > If B drops a write from A because it is overwhelmed (but not dead), A will > hint the write. But it will never get notified that B is back up (since it > was never down), so it will never attempt hint delivery. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
