Alex Petrov commented on CASSANDRA-17049:
-----------------------------------------

+1. The only comments I have is that there's no test (but since it's 
straightforward yet rare and is difficult to reproduce, I'd say it's fine), and 
that 
[here|https://github.com/iamaleksey/cassandra/commit/05f379b812a9967b192347a341ae9270a35c27b4#diff-03e0ee2c01f2ca4d3b15d3a1fc4917d8737861c15d8c83cb73b352fe9da22d1aR410]
 we may additionally check for emptiness of the {NodesToHint} (but since it 
would work just fine even without it, please feel free to omit).

>
> Batchlog replay process collects addresses of the hosts that have been hinted 
> to, so it can flush hints for them to disk before confirming deletion of the 
> replayed batches. If a node has been decommissioned during replay, however, 
> when the time comes to flush the hints at the very end of replay, 
> {{StorageService.getHostIdForEndpoint()}} will return {{null}} for its 
> address, which will, down the line, cause {{HintsCatalog::get()}} to be 
> invoked with a {{null}} host id argument, causing an NPE.
> The simple fix is to check returned host ids for addresses for nulls, and 
> collect hinted host ids instead of hinted addresses.
