High load on cassandra node

2015-07-01 Thread Jayapandian Ponraj
HI I have a 6 node cluster and I ran a major compaction on node 1 but
I found that the load reached very high levels on node 2. Is this
explainable?

Attaching tpstats and metrics:

Also I saw that the nativetransportreqests was 23 in active and 23 in

Any settings i can make to keep the load under control?
Appreciate any help.. Thanks


Re: High load on cassandra node

2015-07-01 Thread Jayapandian Ponraj
We heavily use counters, will upgrade and check if it solves the
issue... The current cluster version is 2.0.14

We do a lot of delete operations and do major compaction to remove the
tombstones. Is there any better way?

Last two metrics of cfstats

2015-09-02 Thread Jayapandian Ponraj
The last two metrics of cfstats shows zero for all the tables we have

Average live cells per slice (last five minutes): 0.0
Average tombstones per slice (last five minutes): 0.0

What do these mean and why are they always zero?

Minor compaction not triggered

2015-06-17 Thread Jayapandian Ponraj
Hi

I have a cassandra cluster of 6 nodes, with DateTiered compaction for
the tables/CFs
For some reason the minor compaction never happens.
I have enabled debug logging and I don't see any debug logs related to
compaction like the following

https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-2.0/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/db/compaction/CompactionManager.java#L150
https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-2.0/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/db/compaction/DateTieredCompactionStrategy.java#L127

As a result of no compactions, now the cluster has more than 50K
SStables per node.
How do i debug this issue further?
Appreciate any help..

Hi,

Curently the cluster runs 2.0.14 on all nodes, will try to upgrade to 2.0.15

The issue is in all the nodes..

simple restart as in a rolling restart of all the nodes?
