Hi [~iamaleksey]
A gentle ping. If you have some time then can you please help me close this?

> I have found this new issue during my test, whenever node is being removed
> then hint file for that node gets written and stays inside the hint directory
> forever. I debugged the code and found that it is due to the race condition
> between [HintsWriteExecutor.java::flush |
> https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-3.0/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/hints/HintsWriteExecutor.java#L195]
> and [HintsWriteExecutor.java::closeWriter |
> https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-3.0/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/hints/HintsWriteExecutor.java#L106]

> *Time t1* Node is down, as a result Hints are being written by
> [HintsWriteExecutor.java::flush |
> https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-3.0/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/hints/HintsWriteExecutor.java#L195]
> *Time t2* Node is removed from cluster as a result it calls
> [HintsService.java-exciseStore |
> https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-3.0/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/hints/HintsService.java#L327]
> which removes hint files for the node being removed
> *Time t3* Mutation stage keeps pumping Hints through [HintService.java::write
> |
> https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-3.0/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/hints/HintsService.java#L145]
> which again calls [HintsWriteExecutor.java::flush |
> https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-3.0/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/hints/HintsWriteExecutor.java#L215]
> and new orphan file gets created
> I was writing a new dtest for {CASSANDRA-13562, CASSANDRA-13308} and that
> helped me reproduce this new bug. I will submit patch for this new dtest
> later.
> I also tried following to check how this orphan hint file responds:
> 1. I tried {{nodetool truncatehints <node>}} but it fails as node is no
> longer part of the ring
> 2. I then tried {{nodetool truncatehints}}, that still doesn’t remove hint
> file because it is not yet included in the [dispatchDequeue |
> https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-3.0/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/hints/HintsStore.java#L53]
> Reproducible steps:
> Please find dTest python file {{gossip_hang_test.py}} attached which
> reproduces this bug.
> Solution:
> This is due to race condition as mentioned above. Since
> {{HintsWriteExecutor.java}} creates thread pool with only 1 worker, so
> solution becomes little simple. Whenever we [HintService.java::excise |
> https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-3.0/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/hints/HintsService.java#L303]
> a host, just store it in-memory, and check for already evicted host inside
> [HintsWriteExecutor.java::flush |
> https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-3.0/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/hints/HintsWriteExecutor.java#L215].
> If already evicted host is found then ignore hints.
