paul cannon commented on CASSANDRA-2961:
----------------------------------------
So it looks like expireTimeEndpointMap is meant to contain absolute timestamps,
not durations; however, the default expiretime value (as returned by
o.a.c.gms.Gossiper.getExpireTimeForEndpoint()) is aVeryLongTime.
That should probably be (System.currentTimeMillis() + aVeryLongTime).
Also, I think it would make more sense to pass expire times into the
VersionedValue constructors, not call into the Gossiper from inside them.

> 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.
