Yifan Cai commented on CASSANDRA-16815: --------------------------------------- [~brandon.williams], general replacement, as long as not replacing with the same address. In this case, the new (replacing) node gets a new host ID. The change was added in CASSANDRA-8523. > Background schedule to clean up orphaned hints files > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-16815 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16815 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Yifan Cai > Assignee: Yifan Cai > Priority: Normal > > Host replacement is possible to produce orphaned hints files that the > original associated host ID no longer exist in the cluster (i.e., being > replaced). Those orphaned hints files will not be dispatched and only > consumes up the disk space. > We can have a background schedule that infrequently checks and deletes the > files if they are orphaned and have exceeded the TTL. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commits-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commits-h...@cassandra.apache.org
