Description

Currently, HH is purely an optimization – if a machine goes down, enabling HH means RR/AES will have less work to do, but you can't disable RR entirely in most situations since HH doesn't kick in until the FailureDetector does.

Let's add a scheduled task to the mutate path, such that we return to the client normally after ConsistencyLevel is achieved, but after RpcTimeout we check the responseHandler write acks and write local hints for any missing targets.

This would making disabling RR when HH is enabled a much more reasonable option, which has a huge impact on read throughput.
