sankalp kohli commented on CASSANDRA-6157:
------------------------------------------
Looks good except that I did not see this change in v3 patch
Renamed initializeCustomConfig to configHintedHandoff as custom config sounds
too general.
> Selectively Disable hinted handoff for a data center

> Cassandra supports disabling the hints or reducing the window for hints.
> It would be helpful to have a switch which stops hints to a down data center
> but continue hints to other DCs.
> This is helpful during data center fail over as hints will put more
> unnecessary pressure on the DC taking double traffic. Also since now
> Cassandra is under reduced reduncany, we don't want to disable hints within
> the DC.
