------------------------------------------

We have upgraded to 3.11.5 and still see the same issue.

> Cluster setup: 3 DCs, 20 Cassandra nodes each, all 3.0.14, with approx. 200GB data per machine. Many tables have MVs associated.
> During some maintenance we did a rolling restart of all nodes in the cluster. This caused a buildup of hints/batches, as expected. Most nodes came back just fine, except for two nodes.
> These two nodes came back with a loadavg of >100, and 'nodetool tpstats' showed a million (not exaggerating) MutationStage tasks per second(!). It was clear that these were mostly (all?) mutations coming from hints, as indicated by thousands of log entries per second in debug.log :

> After reading the relevant code, it seems that a hint is considered droppable, and in the mutation path when the table contains a MV and the lock fails to acquire and the mutation is droppable, it throws a WTE without waiting until the timeout expires. This explains why Cassandra is able to process a million mutations per second without actually considering them 'dropped' in the 'nodetool tpstats' output.
> I managed to recover the two nodes by stopping handoffs on all nodes in the cluster and reenabling them one at a time. It's likely that the hint/batchlog settings were sub-optimal on this cluster, but I think that the retry behavior(?) of hints should be improved as it's hard to express hint throughput in kb/s when the mutations can involve MVs.
> More data available upon request -- I'm not sure which bits are relevant and which aren't.
