Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-1108:
-------------------------------------------
+1 stopping gossip, if it's so sick you can't do that then (a) experience shows
it's not going to be gossiping anyway and (b) you're probably going to need to
kill -9ing it instead :)
> ability to forcibly mark machines failed

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1108
> Project: Cassandra

> 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.
