Description

From http://www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg28682.html

There exists a possibility for a hinted insert created before a delete to be delivered after a tombstone that would have covered the insert is purged. I don't think it's very likely but it's possible.

Could we filter the RowMutation to remove CF's where the gc_grace is less than the age of the hint? Or add a config property for a max_hint_age?
