Expire dead gossip states based on time
---------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-2961
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2961
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Brandon Williams
Assignee: Brandon Williams
Currently dead states are held until aVeryLongTime, 3 days. The problem is
that if a node reboots within this period, it begins a new 3 days and will
repopulate the ring with the dead state. While mostly harmless, perpetuating
the state forever is at least wasting a small amount of bandwidth. Instead, we
can expire states based on a ttl, which will require that the cluster be
loosely time synced; within the quarantine period of 60s.
