Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-6257:
---------------------------------------------
bq. Really? How do we get feedback to the just-started node rather than just
ignoring it?
Actually, you're right. Comparing the heartbeat to the current time won't
work, because the heartbeat is from when that node previously _booted_, not
when it was last active.

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Johnny Miller

> 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.
