I'm not sure why hints are not working for you. You might have hit some
other issue. Some suggestions:
1. Verify that HintsColumnFamily actually contains some data with
cassandra-cli and "list HintsColumnFamily"
yes
2. Try restarting the node containing the hints to check if that gets
your hints delivered (gossip state related issue?).

(line 334) Finished hinted handoff of 0 rows to endpoint /***99.40
Worked. This is improvement. at least node tried to deliver hints. So
conclusion was that keeping gossip state still has some issues?
3. but hints table is not empty after that. majority of hints
disappeared but this was left in table. Take a look at it.
I suspect these partial/invalid hints are left over from a failed hints
delivery from before you upgraded to 1.0.3 and not something created by
1.0.3.
Try to clear HintsColumnFamily (by removing the sstables for example)
first and then see if you still can reproduce this issue afterwards.
