hinted-handoff-reads-skip-non-preferred

Status: IN

`get()` only queries preferred replicas, so data existing only as hints on non-preferred nodes is invisible to reads until handoff delivers it.

Example

preferred = self.get_preferred_nodes(key)
for nid in preferred:  # only read from preferred replicas
    if node.is_available():
        results.append(node.get(key))
