When restoring a backup for the entire cluster my understanding is that
you must shutdown the entire cluster and then restore the backup and
then start up all nodes again.
http://www.datastax.com/docs/1.0/operations/backup_restore
But how should I handle hinted handoffs (Hints CF). Since they're stored
in the system keyspace and according to the docs I only need to restore
the specific keyspace not the system keyspace.
Won't these hinted handoffs, which isn't based on the backup, be
delivered and applied as soon as one of the node which they're aimed for
comes up and thus be applied to the backuped data.
What is the recomended way to handle this situation? Removing the hints
cf from the system tables before restart of the cluster nodes?
