Hints are created on the coordinator. Have you checked all nodes? Maybe they haven't been flushed to disk yet. Also what is "high enough" in relation to GCGS? If it's less than the configured hinted handoff duration they'll be dropped. Are you checking the relevant hints metrics? They will give you a good indication if hints are actually occurring. -- raft.so - Cassandra consulting, support, and managed services
