perhaps entirely unrelated, but somebody was asking about lockups on EC2 yesterday and found: http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/FAQ#ubuntu_hangs

Am I installing it the right way ? While installing I didn't verify the signatures using public key.

        You might want to check your Cassandra logs, they contain
        important information that might lead you to the actual cause
        of the problems.

            Thanks! But what about the 100% cpu consumption that
            is causing the server to hang?

                I haven't use the packaged kit, but Cassandra uses
                half of physical memory on your system by default.
                You need to edit cassandra-env.sh to decrease heap size.
                Update MAX_HEAP_SIZE and NEW_HEAP_SIZE and restart.

                I just installed Cassandra on my ubuntu server by
                adding the following to the sources list:

                    deb http://www.apache.org/dist/cassandra/debian
                    10x main
                    deb-src
                    http://www.apache.org/dist/cassandra/debian 10x main


                Soon after install I started getting OOM errors &
                then the server became unresponsive. I added more RAM
                to the server but found that cassandra was consuming
                100% CPU & 1GB RAM as soon the server was being
                started. Why is this happening & how can get it to
                normal conditions ?
