I believe this is incorrect. > On our cluster, we have disabled Hinted Handoffs, and a week later they are still being sent to other nodes, and are still being compacted. This clearly is not the desired behavior. I cannot think of a scenario when one would want to keep receiving Hinted Handoffs after explicitly turning them off. By turning them off, you've already stated that some data loss and inconsistency is acceptable. > A more aggressive strategy would be to remove from disk all the HintsColumnFamily* files on startup, if Hinted Handoffs were turned off. This would prevent them from being sent, and the existing ones from still being compacted. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
