Given a 3-node cluster where a QUORUM write fails due to two nodes temporarily being down; If the two failing nodes come back up (within hinted handoff window), will the write propagate to the two other nodes?

In a 3 node cluster QUORUM will be 2.

CONSISTENCY level is number of nodes that should acknowledge the Read/Write operation.

When using CL of QUORUM and if 2 nodes are down, then the write/read request will fail. There will be no role hinted handoff here. Hinted handoff is used only when CL is achieved but the RF is not met;In this case if node comes up in handoff window then hints will be propogate to this nodes
