kinds of like https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3733 but maybe different.
Have you recently dropped as CF ? it looks like the hints CF is only compacted if hints are replayed. If they are dropped because the CF no longer exists compaction is not forced ( https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-1.1/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/db/HintedHandOffManager.java#L370 ) Can you create a ticket on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA with the details and update the thread.
