Sure I can fill in the ticket. Here is what I have noticed so far, the count of HH is not going up, which is good. I think what must have happened is that after I restarted the cluster, no new hints were added just the old one's are still around and not cleaned up, is that possible? Cannot say for

Could you put together some information on this in a ticket and references this one https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3071 The short term fix is to disable HH. You will still get consistent reads. Cheers - Aaron Morton Freelance Cassandra Developer @aaronmorton ht

So I have looked at the cluster from - Cassandra-client - describe cluster => shows correctly - 3 nodes - used the StorageService - JMX bean =>UnreachableNodes - shows 0 If all these show the correct ring state, why are hints being maintained, looks like that is the only way to find out ab

So, I restarted the cluster (not rolling), but it is still maintaining hints for the IP's that are no longer part of the ring. nodetool ring shows things correctly (as only 3 nodes). When I check thru the jmx hintedhandoff manager, it shows it is maintaining the hints for those non existent IP's. S

We have a lot of space on /data, and looks like it was flushing data fine from file timestamps. We did have a bit of goofup with IP's when bringing up a down node (and the commit files have been around since then). Wonder if that is what triggered it and we have a bunch of hinted handoff's being b

So no it did not fill in a minute, but ton's of header files were written in a minute (is that normal, I assume these are marker files which get written when memtables are flushed. The actual data files have been around for the last 24 hours? Somehow this all seems connected to "reintroduce node" e

Hi, 7.4, 3 node cluster, RF=3 Load has not changed much, on 2 of the 3 nodes the commit log filled up in less than a minute (did not give a chance to recover). Now have been running this cluster for abt 2-3 months without any problem. At this point I do not see any unusual load (continue to inves
