Background:
Riak 2.1.1
FreeBSD 9.1.
Servers are all virtualized on VMWare ESX 5.5. Each node is given ~300G
of storage, 4G of RAM, and 2 core SMP.
Storage is via FC SAN.
Access to the cluster from clients is strictly over the HTTP interface
and is funneled through haproxy.
The cluster was five nodes using leveldb with a ring size of 16.
The cluster is setup this way so that we could start small and add nodes
as needed, with a small memory footprint, rather than preallocating a
ton of memory and disk space that we may never use. The cluster has
been running fine for the past month.
Today the cluster has begun experiencing strange repeated failures. No
changes in any of the clients have been made, so the problem seems as
though it must be in the data coming in.
I started a fresh two-node cluster and shortly after data begins flowing
into the cluster, nodes begin crashing.
The first report in the crash log is below. I'm far from an expert at
understanding these errors, but "invalid_unicode" seems telling.
If more from the crash log is needed, I can provide it. Once this first
error comes in, the node goes offline and errors just continue to roll
in to the log file, in what looks like an attempt to automatically
restart the node.
