Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-1108:
---------------------------------------------
Probably, but I think the true problem here is that gossip is independent of
any other operation. We can tank ourselves on GC for instance, but gossip
still works 'well enough' to let the node be counted as live. Ultimately, we
need a way for a 'sick' node to get marked down faster, but in the meantime at
least making it operator-controlled makes sense.

> For when a node is failing but not yet so badly that it can't participate in
> gossip (e.g. hard disk failing but not dead yet) we should give operators the
> power to forcibly mark a node as dead.
> I think we'd need to add an extra flag in gossip to say "this deadness is
> operator-imposed" or the next heartbeat will flip it back to live.
