I have dev cluster of 2 node with dse version 6.7.4.
i am facing issue with hint directory size . as size increasing continuously now its around 80 gb and so far increased 10 gb since last 1 hour and i am worried that it will reach to 100 and i wont be able to access server could you please suggest what should be done? generally it should be 4kb i guess. i dont have much idea about this could you please help with workaround so that i can stop this utilisation without any impacting my data.
Hints are stored by coordinator nodes when a replica doesn't acknowledge that writes were successful because the node is down or unresponsive for whatever reason.
In my experience, the most common cause of this situation is when nodes are overloaded and cannot keep up with writes.
You need to either (a) reduce the traffic so the nodes don't get overloaded, or (b) increase the capacity of your cluster by adding more nodes.
