I am using Cassandra 0.6.5, and playing with bootstrapping, decommissioning nodes. The latest one i hit is the exception down below. I got this exception twice on the source machine while streaming, in 2 different scenarios (both involved streaming though) 1. Bootstrapping another machine from the source 2. Decommissioning the source machine I am finally moving out of that machine to a larger machine, by just scping the data out.
Some information about the machines in the cluster, in case that is of any help. This machine is a 4 gig RAM box, 32 bit, debian machine. Cassandra was started with 2 gigs. The other 2 machines in the cluster are 16 gig RAM box, 64 bit, debian. I searched around and saw that someone has encountered this issue before, but the fix is supposed to be in an earlier version of cassandra, and hence this email.
