Thanks, Peter. In the system.log, I see quite a few of these across several machines. Everything else in the log is INFO level. WARN [ScheduledTasks:1] 2011-02-17 07:19:47,491 MessagingService.java (line 545) Dropped 182 READ messages in the last 5000ms WARN [ScheduledTasks:1] 2011-02-17 08:10:06,142 MessagingService.java (line 545) Dropped 31 READ messages in the last 5000ms WARN [ScheduledTasks:1] 2011-02-17 08:11:12,237 MessagingService.java (line 545) Dropped 54 READ messages in the last 5000ms WARN [ScheduledTasks:1] 2011-02-17 08:11:17,392 MessagingService.java (line 545) Dropped 487 READ messages in the last 5000ms The machines are in EC2 with firewall permission to talk to each other, so while not the most solid of network environments, at least pretty common these days. System is not going down, and cassandra process is not dying. Andy
