Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-11090:
-----------------------------------------------
That doesn't seem like a problem to me - that's the way it should work. The
original issue was causing empty hint files to be created and deleted every 10
seconds, this seems to be processing non-empty hint files every minute, as
intended.

> 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:
