Check how many sstables are there for the table you are having issues with. You might be having the Heap pressure. Check your system.log for any OOM error or HEAP error.

Issue here is, this causing replication lag across the datacenters.

Also check the OS level log messages to see if you are getting hardware level error messages.

We are pretty sure there is no issue with the network between the regions and all the nodes are up and running all the time. Is there any other reason for the hints accumulation other than the n/w? eg: wide rows or bigger objects? Any pointers here could be very helpful. b/w the hints gets processed after some point of time.
