Jason Brown commented on CASSANDRA-12653:
-----------------------------------------

[~spod] I'm on board with {{firstSynSendAt}} being a timestamp, I'm just 
questioning what you compare it against. Instead of this:

{code}
long ts = epStateMap.values().iterator().next().getUpdateTimestamp();
if ((ts - Gossiper.instance.firstSynSendAt) < 0 || 
Gossiper.instance.firstSynSendAt == 0)
{code}

I'm suggesting this:
{code}
if ((System.nanoTime() - Gossiper.instance.firstSynSendAt) < 0 || 
Gossiper.instance.firstSynSendAt == 0)
{code}

It amounts to the same thing (a check against {{System.nanoTime()}}), but it's 
more obvious where the value comes from.

[~jkni] wrt to {{synchronized}}, on one hand agree with you, but then that 
makes the argument for making many more of the methods on {{Gossiper}} 
synchronized. If we're going to make this method different from the rest (which 
is fine with me), can we add in a relevant, detailed comment why it is?

> Bootstrapping or replacing a node in the cluster requires to gather and check 
> some host IDs or tokens by doing a gossip "shadow round" once before joining 
> the cluster. This is done by sending a gossip SYN to all seeds until we 
> receive a response with the cluster state, from where we can move on in the 
> bootstrap process. Receiving a response will call the shadow round done and 
> calls {{Gossiper.resetEndpointStateMap}} for cleaning up the received state 
> again.
> The issue here is that at this point there might be other in-flight requests 
> and it's very likely that shadow round responses from other seeds will be 
> received afterwards, while the current state of the bootstrap process doesn't 
> expect this to happen (e.g. gossiper may or may not be enabled). 
> One side effect will be that MigrationTasks are spawned for each shadow round 
> reply except the first. Tasks might or might not execute based on whether at 
> execution time {{Gossiper.resetEndpointStateMap}} had been called, which 
> effects the outcome of {{FailureDetector.instance.isAlive(endpoint))}} at 
> start of the task. You'll see error log messages such as follows when this 
> happend:
> {noformat}
> INFO  [SharedPool-Worker-1] 2016-09-08 08:36:39,255 Gossiper.java:993 - 
> InetAddress /xx.xx.xx.xx is now UP
> ERROR [MigrationStage:1]    2016-09-08 08:36:39,255 FailureDetector.java:223 
> - unknown endpoint /xx.xx.xx.xx
> {noformat}
> Although is isn't pretty, I currently don't see any serious harm from this, 
> but it would be good to get a second opinion (feel free to close as "wont 
> fix").
