Looks like it's not happening, seen a couple of cases like this, in all cases the files belonged to nodes that died and had to be removed, and I can see this behaviour on all the nodes in the relevant data center. All these nodes had to be removed with force (not by choice..), I wonder if that has anything to do with it, perhaps there is a stage in the end that clears hints.
I can see by the file name, it contains the host id, and I have old "nodetool status" output On Sun, Sep 12, 2021 at 4:04 PM Erick Ramirez <erick.rami...@datastax.com> wrote: > Hints for a removed node should have been dropped. Out of curiosity, how > do you know they belong to the removed node? >
