Prateek created CASSANDRA-6392: ---------------------------------- Summary: Cassandra 2.0.1 leaking open file handles for deleted system hints Key: CASSANDRA-6392 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6392 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Environment: Cassandra 2.0.1 Cassandra datastax java driver 1.0.3 (cassandra-driver-core) Reporter: Prateek
The system was running for a few days with a heavy write workload. The system crashed with too many open file handles. It seems the deleted system hint file handles are still open even though the file has been deleted on disk. We use a 3-node cluster with replication factor 3 on ec2 us-east-1 using NetworkTopologyStrategy. Default consistency level for write is ANY. This is blocking our production deployment and causing instability in production. Appreciate your quick response.
