Yes Kurt, system log is flooded with hints sent and replayed messages.

 Not sure what to make of that. Are there any log messages regarding the file 
and replaying hints? Sounds like maybe it's corrupt (although not sure why it 
keeps getting rewritten).

Kurt,
Hint file matches UUID matches with another node in the cluster:

Does the UUID on the filename correspond with a UUID in nodetool status?
Sounds to me like it could be something weird with an old node that no longer 
exists, although hints for old nodes are meant to be cleaned up.

Kurt,
No node is down for months. And yes, I am surprised to look at Unix timestamp 
on files.

system.hints is not used in Cassandra 3. Can't explain the files though, are 
you referring to the files timestamp or the Unix timestamp in the file name? Is 
there a node that's been down for several months?

Hi,
I observed a strange behavior about stored hints. 
Time stamp of hints file shows several months old. I deleted them and saw new 
hints files created with same old date. Why is that?
Also, I see hints files on disk but if I query system.hints table, it shows 0 
rows. Why system.hints is not populated?
