Hi, I've experienced several node lock-ups on EC2 instances. I'm running with the following set-up:
heap-new: 800M max-heap: 8G instance type: m2.xlarge java is java version "1.6.0_26" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode) running on ubuntu 11.04 and the apache cassandra packages + jna installed All my initial tokens are computed and set in cassandra.yaml according to the number of nodes present, the seed list is the ip of the first node. I am seeing a very strange behavior where on startup a node will lock-up the machine, ssh is still possible but ps hangs on the cassandra process which seems to be doing nothing.
