Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-14309:
----------------------------------------------
bq. the decision whether a node should receive a hint in case a node for which
topology changed happened to receive it should not take into account if there
is or is not some earlier hint for that node from the perspective of the node
which received that hint which is not meant to be for it.
I think in this case we should not do the check and just store the hint. It's
better to err on the side of possibly more hints than maintaining perfect
accuracy of the hint window, and this scenario won't be super common.

> The current hint system stores a window of hints as defined by
> {{max_hint_window_in_ms}}, however this window is not persistent across
> restarts.
> Examples (cluster with RF=3 and 3 nodes, A, B, and C):
> # A goes down
> # X ms of hints are stored for A on B and C
> # A is restarted
> # A goes down again without hints replaying from B and C
> # B and C will store up to another {{max_hint_window_in_ms}} of hints for A
>
> # A goes down
> # X ms of hints are stored for A on B and C
> # B is restarted
> # B will store up to another {{max_hint_window_in_ms}} of hints for A
>
> Note that in both these scenarios they can continue forever. If A or B keeps
> getting restarted hints will continue to pile up.
>
> Idea of this ticket is to stop this behaviour from happening and only ever
> store up to {{max_hint_window_in_ms}} of hints for a particular node.
