Description

First time reporting a bug here, apologies if I'm not posting it in the right space.

At what seems like random interval, on random nodes in random situations I will get the following exception. After this the hinted handoff start timing out and the node stops participating in the cluster.

I started seeing these after switching to the Cassandra Python-Driver from the Python-CQL driver.

The service must be restarted for the node to come back online. Let me know any additional configuration details needed.
