I have a 3 node cassandra cluster I'm trying to work with:
All three machines are about the same:
6-8GB per machine (fastest machine has 8GB, JavaVM limited to 5GB)
separate spindle for cassandra data and commit log
I wrote ~7 Million items to Cassandra, now, I'm trying to read them back, the
ones that are missing, might be troubling, but I'm not worried about that yet.
Part of the reason I only have ~7 million items in, is that 2 of the nodes are
NOT pulling their weight:
I've used "nodetool loadbalance" on them, to get the data evened out, it was
terribly imbalanced after ingestion, but it now looks like this:

This is a summary report from my checking program(c++). It runs one thread per
file (files contain the originally ingested data), checking to see if the data
inserted is present and the same as when it was inserted. Each thread has its
own thrift and Cassandra connection setup. Connection point is randomly chosen
at startup and that connection is reused by that thread until the end of the
test. All the threads are running simultaneously and I would expect similar
results, but one node is beating the pants off the other two nodes for
performance.
In the logs, there are nothing but INFO lines like these (there are others that
give less info about performance), no exceptions, warnings:

How do I go about figuring out what is going on in this setup?
