Hello Oleksiy,

Hinfiles can become invalid for a variety of reasons but they are not a
required component for normal Riak operation. Hinfiles are used to hasten
bitcask startup and to optimize some fold operations. Hintfiles are created
during bitcask merge so after the associated data files(i.e 3.bitcask.data)
are merged these errors will go away.

This log message should be a notice or warning level rather than error as
it is inappropriately alarming. I've filed an issue here[0].
