-------------------------------------------
Summary: Hinted Handoff loop
Key: CASSANDRA-11090
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11090
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Blake Eggleston
After the hints executor finishes sending hints, another hints file is created
for the same host, which is then processed on the next go around. This
continues indefinitely. The new hint files are empty, so there shouldn't be any
network traffic. However, there's still unnecessary hint activity, and the hint
crc file isn't deleted in the 3.0 branch after hints are dispatched (but is in
trunk), so any hint activity will trigger ~8640 files being created per day
until the node is restarted. Restarting the node fixes the problem, after the
existing hint files are processed.
This can be duplicated on cassandra-3.0 to trunk with this script:
