I'm still in the experimentation stage so perhaps forgive this hypothetical
question/idea.  I am planning to load balance by putting haproxy in front of
the cassandra cluster.  First of all, is that a bad idea?

Secondly, if I have high enough replication and # of nodes, is it possible
and a good idea to proactively cause GCing to happen?  (I.e. take a node out
of the haproxy LB pool, somehow cause it to gc, and then put the node back
in... repeat at intervals for each node?)
