Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-715:
------------------------------------------

until this is fixed, running nodeprobe cleanup on each live node & restarting 
it should fix this (by removing undelivered hints forcibly).  depending on your 
replication factor you may have hints that are not removed by cleanup; in that 
case you can remove the hint files from data/system/*Hint*.

> HHOM goes into infinite loop, wasting cpu

>          Components: Core
>    Affects Versions: 0.6
>         Environment: debian lenny amd64 OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 
> 1.6.0_0-b11, mixed mode)
>            Reporter: Brandon Williams

> To replicate: take a host down, cause hints to it, wait for HHOM to kick in
> The issue is line 201 of HHOM:
> startColumn = keyColumn.name(); // repeating the last as the first is fine 
> since we just deleted it
> That comment is false.  The column may not have been deleted, since the 
> endpoint could still be down.  This causes HHOM to go into an infinite loop 
> trying to deliver hints to a down host.
