Re: large system hint partition

The reason for large partitions is that the partition key is just the uuid of the target node More recent (I think 2.2) don't have this problem since they write hints to the file system as per the commit log Sadly the large partitions make things worse when you are hinting hence presumably und

Re: large system hint partition

Yeah I tried that, but oddly the table had nothing in it. I changed the compaction strategy from leveled to sizetierd and ran a major compaction on each node. I haven't seen the message logged on any node in a few days which makes me think that fixed it because it is normally logged multiple times

Re: large system hint partition

Hey Nicolas, There are no dead nodes. 'nodetool status' and 'nodetool describecluster' both show 4 healthy nodes. In the past we have had some nodes we eliminated by using 'nodetool assassinate'. However, I checked system.peers table on all 4 of our nodes and they each show 3 peers as expected. So

Re: large system hint partition
