Have to rolling restart the cluster to resolve. Waiting for it to happen again to collect more information on the cause for this loop. > Hinted Handoff loop > ------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-11090 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11090 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Blake Eggleston > Assignee: Aleksey Yeschenko > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 3.0.4, 3.4 > > > 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: > https://gist.github.com/bdeggleston/13fbb9e70c0c0bd277c7 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
