Peter Schuller commented on CASSANDRA-3897:
-------------------------------------------
The negative side-effect of not hinting to them is not that there is a
consistency level violation, but that the hinted hand-off optimization fails.
An operator (not me, we don't use HH) that is expecting hinted hand-off (in its
new incarnation) to make AES only minimally necessary would be incorrect in the
face of nodes bootstrapping into the cluster.
> StorageService.onAlive() only schedules hints for joined endpoints

> It seems incorrect to not do hint delivery for nodes that are bootstrapping,
> as that would cause sudden spikes in read repair need or inconsistent reads
> when a node joins the ring. Particularly if the user is expecting to rely on
> the new hinted handoff code making AES much less needed. It would be a POLA
> violation for bootstrapping nodes to be an exception to that.
