I finally upgraded 0.6.x to 0.7.4. The nodes are running with the new version for several days across 2 data centers. I noticed that the read time in some of the nodes increase by x50-60 every ten minutes. There was no indication in the logs for something that happen at the same time. The only thing that I know that is running every 10 minutes is the dynamic snitch reset. So I changed dynamic_snitch_reset_interval_in_ms to 20 minutes and now I have the problem once in every 20 minutes.
I am running all nodes with: replica_placement_strategy: org.apache.cassandra.locator.NetworkTopologyStrategy strategy_options: DC1 : 2 DC2 : 2 replication_factor: 4 (DC1 and DC2 are taken from the ips) Does anyone familiar with this kind of behavior? Shimi
