As promised in previous email, I hit a fairly big problem over the weekend and then reproduced it this morning and I was wondering if I could get some help.
Basically, I was running my code against our risk cluster and everything was moving along just fine. However, at some point Riak just seems to hit a wall. I get to a certain scale of content, about 9-10 GB per node, and about half the cluster gives up the ghost. I've done this twice from scratch now, the first time I thought maybe I was trying to push too many transactions per second. But the second time I reduced the speed and changed some settings in the app.config that I thought would reduce memory usage. Ran it again, and 24 hrs later I still hit the wall (almost the same place). So, I figure I'm still doing something wrong, I'm just not sure what. I'm obviously hitting some kind of heap issue, but I'm not sure what else I can do about it. I'm hoping there is something obvious I'm missing in my ignorance, cuz at the moment I'm stuck... Some details: 7 node cluster running 1.4 each VM has 7GB RAM and 4 CPUs the data directory is on a RAID0 with 750GB of space 128 partitions, levelDB backend using links and secondary indexes lots of buckets (over 10 million), a couple buckets have lots of keys (one was around 6.6 million keys when it crashed, the other around 3.7 million). Values are pretty small, almost all are just a few bytes. There is one bucket, the largest (6.6 million keys), with value sizes between 1-2k. primary custom app config settings: {kernel, [ {inet_dist_listen_min, 6000}, {inet_dist_listen_max, 7999} ]}, {riak_core, [ {default_bucket_props, [ {allow_mult, true}, {r, 1}, {w, 1}, {dw, 1}, {dw, 1} ]}, {ring_creation_size, 128}, ]}, {riak_kv, [ {storage_backend, riak_kv_eleveldb_backend}, ]} {eleveldb, [ {max_open_files, 32} ]}, custom vm.args settings +A 16 Here is some of the error information I am seeing when it all goes boom: ************************************* * On one of the nodes that
