your jvm heap has reached 78% so cassandra automatically flushes its memtables. you need to explain more about your configuration. 32 or 64 bit OS, what is max heap, how much ram installed?
If this happens under stress test conditions its probably understandable. you should look into graphing your memory usage, or use the jconsole to graph heap during your tests.
