Jaakko Laine commented on CASSANDRA-572:
----------------------------------------
>From the small experiment (patch) it would seem that it is not too dangerous,
>just needs a bit of extra care. From #617 it would seem that reducing total
>amount of data in the gossiper would be beneficial, so current move gossip
>model needs some attention. There are basically two options:
(1) use one state for all moves, and use tuple/triple in application state
string to identify what the node is doing (as suggested by jbellis earlier)
(2) return to the "old" gossip model: one state to broadcast the token and
separate small states to express what the token means. The reason for moving
out of this model was to make all needed information part of one gossip message
and not rely on them arriving at the same time. With small addition to
StorageService, we might keep arriving token "somewhere" and only add it to
token metadata when the actual mode gossip arrives. This would take care of the
race condition and would also reduce the amount of data to be gossiped to bare
minimum.

> (1) If a node has been moving in the ring, further bootstraps by other nodes
> will cause errors as they are handling STATE_LEAVING gossip without having
> such member in token metadata.
> (2) When a node bootstraps, it handles all ep states in the order they happen
> to arrive. If the first one to arrive has moved in the past (that is, it has
> STATE_LEAVING in its ep state), getNaturalEndpoint will throw
> ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception as sortedTokens.size() == 0.
