If you have this many hints, you probably have flapping / frequent network partition, or very overloaded nodes. If you compare the number of hints to the number of dropped messages, that would be informative. If you're hinting because you're dropping, increase capacity. If you're hinting because of partition, figure out why there's so much partition. WRT cleaning up hints, they will automatically be cleaned up eventually, as long as they are successfully being delivered. If you need to manually clean them up you can truncate system.hints keyspace. =Rob
