Hi All, In the doc: https://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/3.0/cassandra/dml/dmlAboutDeletes.html
It said "When an unresponsive node recovers, Cassandra uses hinted handoff to replay the database mutationsthe node missed while it was down. Cassandra does not replay a mutation for a tombstoned record during its grace period.". The tombstone here is on the recovered node or coordinator? The tombstone is a special write record, so it must have writetime. We could compare the writetime between the version in the hint and the version of the tombstone, which is enough to make choice, so why we need to wait for gc_grace_seconds here? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@cassandra.apache.org
