I think it would be very useful to get to the bottom of this but
without further details (like the asked for GC logs) I'm not sure what
to do/suggest.
It's clear that a single CF with a 64 MB memtable flush threshold and
without key cache and row cache and some bulk insertion, should not be

Hi Ruslan,
Is it possible for you to tell us the details on what you have done
which measurably helped your situation, so we can start a "best
practices" doc on growing cassandra systems?
So far, I see that under load, cassandra is rarely "ready" to take heavy
load in it's default configuration

Btw, what are the mutations? Are you doing something like inserting

Maybe you want to add -XX:+PrintGCApplicationConcurrentTime while you're at it.

Add:
JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -XX:+PrintGC"
JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -XX:+PrintGCDetails"
JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps"
And you will see significantly more detail in the GC log.

Also:
* What is the frequency of the pauses? Are we talking every few
seconds, minutes, hours, days
* If you say decrease the load down to 25%. Are you seeing the same
effect but at 1/4th the frequency, or does it remain unchanged, or
does the problem go away completely?

Actually, I wonder if it's worth someone getting this enabled by
default, with the obvious problems associated with getting the log
output placed appropriately and rota

If RF=2 and CL= QUORUM, you're getting no benefit from replication. When a
node is in GC it stops everything. Set RF=3, so when one node is busy the
cluster will still work.

But as I understand store in memory happens only when read happens, i do

How large are your SSTables on disk? My thought was because you have so many

About 30-40, and i use RF=2, and insert rows with QUORUM consistency level
Can you tell me how many SSTables on disk when you see GC pauses? In your 3
node cluster, what's the RF factor?

It sounds like you're complaining that the JVM sometimes does stop-the-world GC.
You can mitigate this but not (for most workloads) eliminate it with
GC option tuning. That's simply the state of the art for Java garbage
collection right now.

It's always possible to run out of memory. Can you provide...
- number cf's and their Memtable settings
- any row or key cache settings
- any other buffer or memory settings you may have changed in Cassandra.yaml.
- what load you are putting on the cluster, e.g. Inserting x rows/columns per

Do you have row cache enabled? Disable it. If it fixes it and you want
it, re-enable but consider row sizes and the cap on the cache size..

Your node is under memory pressure, after the GC there is still 5.7GB in use.
In fact it looks like memory usage went up during the GC process.
Can you reduce the memtable size, caches or the number of CF's or increase the
JVM size? Also is this happening under heavy load ?
