Practical node size limits

2012-07-29 Thread Dustin Wenz
I'm trying to determine if there are any practical limits on the amount of data that a single node can handle efficiently, and if so, whether I've hit that limit or not. We've just set up a new 7-node cluster with Cassandra 1.1.2 running under OpenJDK6. Each node is 12-core Xeon with 24GB of RA

Increased replication factor not evident in CLI

2012-07-12 Thread Dustin Wenz
We recently increased the replication factor of a keyspace in our cassandra 1.1.1 cluster from 2 to 4. This was done by setting the replication factor to 4 in cassandra-cli, and then running a repair on each node. Everything seems to have worked; the commands completed successfully and disk usa

Amazingly bad compaction performance

2012-06-26 Thread Dustin Wenz
We occasionally see fairly poor compaction performance on random nodes in our 7-node cluster, and I have no idea why. This is one example from the log: [CompactionExecutor:45] 2012-06-26 13:40:18,721 CompactionTask.java (line 221) Compacted to [/raid00/cassandra_data/main/basic/main-bas

Cassandra 1.1.1 crash during compaction

2012-06-07 Thread Dustin Wenz
We observed a JRE crash on one node in a seven node cluster about a half hour after upgrading to version 1.1.1 yesterday. Immediately after the upgrade, everything seemed to be working fine. The last item in the cassandra log was a info-level notification that compaction had started on a data fi
