Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-4162:
-------------------------------------------
"mark the node dead" does what it says: no more, no less. in particular
marking a node dead does not, in fact, affect HH transfer, or bulk load, or
repair streams. it would be silly for failure detector's guess to halt an
action that is otherwise working correctly.
> nodetool disablegossip does not prevent gossip delivery of writes via
> already-initiated hinted handoff

> Key: CASSANDRA-4162
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4162
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 1.0.9
> Environment: reported on IRC, believe it was a linux environment,
> nick "rhone", cassandra 1.0.8
> Reporter: Robert Coli
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: gossip
>
> This ticket derives from #cassandra, aaron_morton and I assisted a user who
> had run "disablethrift" and "disablegossip" and was confused as to why he was
> seeing writes to his node.
> Aaron and I went through a series of debugging questions, user verified that
> there was traffic on the gossip port. His node was showing as down from the
> perspective of other nodes, and nodetool also showed that gossip was not
> active.
> Aaron read the code and had the user turn debug logging on. The user saw
> Hinted Handoff messages being delivered and Aaron confirmed in the code that
> a hinted handoff delivery session only checks gossip state when it first
> starts. As a result, it will continue to deliver hints and disregard gossip
> state on the target node.
> per nodetool docs
> "
> disablegossip - Disable gossip (effectively marking the node dead)
> "
> I believe most people will be using disablegossip and disablethrift for
> operational reasons, and propose that they do not expect HH delivery to
> continue, via gossip, when they have run "disablegossip".
