Aaron, Have reduced cache sizes and been monitoring for the past week. It appears as if this was the culprit - since the changes have not seen a resurfacing. For those keeping score at home. * Had sudden persistent spikes in CPU from the Cassandra java process * Occurred every 24-48 hours an

Caches might be it. Will try reducing and see how it goes. Didn't mention this because I wasn't seeing the same errors yesterday, but last night thought it might be worth mentioning. Had changed the location of some data last week, a few days subsequent to that I received some IOException er

That's once in few days, so I don't think it's too important. Especially since 0.77 is much better than 0.99 I've seen sometimes :) 26.01.12 02:49, aaron morton написав(ла): You are running into GC issues. WARN [ScheduledTasks:1] 2012-01-22 12:53:42,804 GCInspector.java (line 146) Heap is 0.7

According to the log, I don't see much time spent for GC. You can still check it with jstat or uncomment GC logging in cassandra-env.sh. Are you sure you've identified the thread correctly? It's still possible that you have memory spike where GCInspector simply has no chance to run between Full

Hello. What's in the logs? It should output something like "Hey, you've got most of your memory used. I am going to flush some of memtables". Sorry, I don't remember exact spelling, but it's gong from GC, so it should be greppable by "GC". 25.01.12 16:26, Matthew Trinneer написав(ла): Hello
