Our Young size=800 MB,SurvivorRatio=8,edenSize=640MB. All objects/bytes generated during compaction are garbage right? During compaction, with in_memory_compaction_limit=64MB and concurrent_compactors=8, there is a lot of pressure on ParNew sweeps. I was thinking of decreasing concurrent_compact

@ravi, u can increase young gen size, keep a high tenuring rate or increase survivor ratio.. On Fri, Jul 6, 2012 at 4:03 AM, aaron morton wrote: > Ideally we would like to collect maximum garbage from ParNew itself, during > compactions. What are the steps to take towards to achieving this? > >

We have modified maxTenuringThreshold from 1 to 5. May be it is causing problems. Will change it back to 1 and see how the system is. concurrent_compactors=8. We will reduce this, as anyway our system won't be able to handle this number of compactions at the same time. Think it will ease GC also t

It *may* have been compaction from the repair, but it's not a big CF. I would look at the logs to see how much data was transferred to the node. Was their a compaction going on while the GC storm was happening ? Do you have a lot of secondary indexes ? If you think it correlated to compaction
