Johnny Miller commented on CASSANDRA-6257: ------------------------------------------ Would it not be possible to have the node periodically heartbeat rather than only on boot? > Safety check on node joining cluster (based on last seen vs GC grace period) > to avoid zombie data > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-6257 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6257 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Johnny Miller > Priority: Minor > > When a node is rejoining a cluster, it would be nice to have some form of > safety check that the cluster recognises the last time the node was part of > the cluster is greater that the GC grace period and therefore should not be > able to rejoin the cluster unless the administrator specifically requests it. > The goal of this is to help avoid the potential issues with deleted data > coming back from the rejoining nodes dataset. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
