Arvind Nithrakashyap commented on CASSANDRA-12539:
--------------------------------------------------
There seems to be a very easy way to reproduce this condition - so it seems
like Cassandra should be able to handle this case without needing manual
intervention at each occurrence. Especially when it gets deployed in an
enterprise setting, when services are expected to auto heal.
