Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-6257:
---------------------------------------------
Not exactly, because it's hard to discern what part of the cluster means
locally. I guess you could say 'last time I saw another node alive' but even
then in the case of a long network split you might exceed gc grace.
> 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
> 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.
