Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-634:
------------------------------------------
IMO we should just drop the HH data with a warning (in case ops does intend to
bring the dead node back). In almost all cases, if a node is down that long it
is going to be replaced entirely, and the replacement will bootstrap and not
need the old HH data.
Since you should repair after bringing a dead node online anyway (b/c there is
a window before the FD is aware that we should start doing HH), HH is just an
optimization and this is OK.
