While this answer is true, it is somewhat non-responsive to the OP. If the OP didn't see timeout exception, the theoretical worst case is that he should have hints stored for initially failed to replicate writes. His nodes should not be failing GC with a total data size of 5gb on an 8gb heap, so those hints should deliver quite quickly. After 30 minutes those hints should certainly be delivered. @OP : do you see hints being stored? does nodetool tpstats indicate dropped messages? =Rob
