We have 20 nodes in this cluster. Yes, however are you recommending that I decommission the node?
I noted the compaction because it is common for the last line in the log file. For reference: INFO [FlushWriter:12] 2011-10-12 18:10:09,823 Memtable.java (line 157) Writing Memtable-HintsColumnFamily@ 1313157506(0 bytes, 1 operations) INFO [CompactionExecutor:1] 2011-10-12 18:10:09,823 CompactionManager.java (line 395) Compacting [SSTableReader(path='/var/lib/cassandra/data/system/HintsColumnFamily-f-7958-Data.db'),SSTableReader(path='/var/lib/cassandra/data/system/HintsColumnFamily-f-7959-Data.db'),SSTableReader(path='/var/lib/cassandra/data/system/HintsColumnFamily-f-7960-Data.db'),SSTableReader(path='/var/lib/cassandra/data/system/HintsColumnFamily-f-7961-Data.db')] INFO [FlushWriter:12] 2011-10-12 18:10:09,862 Memtable.java (line 172) Completed flushing /var/lib/cassandra/data/system/HintsColumnFamily-f-7962-Data.db (61 bytes) Load, cpu and memory are nominal.
