Johnny Miller commented on CASSANDRA-6257:
------------------------------------------
Just to provide some clarification on the scenario behind this.
The recommended action when returning a node to a cluster when it has been out
for longer than the GC grace period is to remove the node, wipe its data and
then rejoin. The purpose of this improvement is to ensure that if this isn't
done, we at least warn the admin unless they explicitly want it.
> Safety check on node joining cluster (based on last seen vs GC grace period)
> to avoid zombie data

> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Johnny Miller
> Assignee: Tyler Hobbs
> Priority: Minor
>
> When a node is rejoining a cluster, it would be nice to have some form of
> safety check that the cluster recognises the last time the node was part of
> the cluster is greater that the GC grace period and therefore should not be
> able to rejoin the cluster unless the administrator specifically requests it.
> The goal of this is to help avoid the potential issues with deleted data
> coming back from the rejoining nodes dataset.
