I'am using Cassandra 0.7.7 and have a question about hinted handoff. I have a cluster of three nodes. I stop node 3. I see that the hint count for node 3 increases on node 1 (countPendingHints = 28709). However, when I start node 3 again, I cannot see anything in the log regarding hinted handoff delivery. If I look at the countPendingHints on node 1, it still says 28709.
hinted_handoff_enabled is enabled. Thanks!
