-------------------------------------------
Am I misreading this, or is this the same as CASSANDRA-833? See especially
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-833?focusedCommentId=13028232&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13028232
> write endpoints are not treated correctly, breaking consistency guarantees

> I had a nagging feeling this was the case ever since I started wanting
> CASSANDRA-3833 and thinking about hot to handle the association between nodes
> in the read set and nodes in the write set.
> I may be wrong (please point me in the direct direction if so), but I see no
> code anywhere that tries to (1) apply consistency level to currently normal
> endpoints only, and (2) "connect" a given read endpoint with a future write
> endpoint such that they are tied together for consistency purposes (parts of
> these concerns probably is covered by CASSANDRA-2434 but that ticket is more
> general).
> To be more clear about the problem: Suppose we have a ring of nodes, with a
> single node bootstrapping. Now, for a given row key suppose reads are served
> by A, B and C while writes are to go to A, B, C and D. In other words, D is
> the node bootstrapping. Suppose RF is 3 and A,B,C,D is ring order. There are
> a few things required for correct behavior:
> * Writes acked by D must never be treated as sufficient to satisfy
> consistency level since until it is part of the read set it does not count
> towards CL on reads.
> * Writes acked by B must *not* be treated as sufficient to satisfy
> consistency level *unless* the same write is *also* acked by D, because once
> D enters the ring, B will no longer be counting towards CL on reads. The only
> alternative is to make the read succeed and disallow D from entering the ring.
> We don't seem to be handling this at all (and it becomes more complicated
> with arbitrary transitions).
