- All Implemented Interfaces:
- IVerbHandler<HintMessage>
public final class HintVerbHandler
extends java.lang.Object
implements IVerbHandler<HintMessage>
Verb handler used both for hint dispatch and streaming.
With the non-sstable format, we cannot just stream hint sstables on node decommission. So sometimes, at decommission
time, we might have to stream hints to a non-owning host (say, if the owning host B is down during decommission of host A).
In that case the handler just stores the received hint in its local hint store.
