Hi, replies to your answers: The CFs that seems to flush more often (users and messages) do not have multiget queries...
There are 4 secondary indexes for users and 3 for messages. I've seen something odd here: the index of the CFs is also stored in a column AND is also indexed. There isn't any query by that secondary index. I should probably erase the index, shouldn't I? I post some lines of the log before 21:35: Node 150: INFO [HintedHandoff:1] 2013-01-30 21:07:43,795 HintedHandOffManager.java (line 296) Started hinted handoff for token: 85070591730234615865843651857942052864 with IP: /10.0.0.153 INFO [HintedHandoff:1] 2013-01-30 21:07:43,796 HintedHandOffManager.java (line 392) Finished hinted handoff of 0 rows to endpoint /10.0.0.153 INFO [HintedHandoff:1] 2013-01-30 21:17:43,796 HintedHandOffManager.java (line 296) Started hinted handoff for token: 85070591730234615865843651857942052864 with IP: /10.0.0.153 INFO [HintedHandoff:1] 2013-01-30 21:17:43,796 HintedHandOffManager.java (line 392) Finished hinted handoff of 0 rows to endpoint /10.0.0.153 INFO [HintedHandoff:1] 2013-01-30 21:27:43,796 HintedHandOffManager.java (line 296) Started hinted handoff for token: 85070591730234615865843651857942052864 with IP: /10.0.0.153 INFO [HintedHandoff:1] 2013-01-30 21:27:43,797 HintedHandOffManager.java (line 392) Finished hinted handoff of 0 rows to endpoint /10.0.0.153 Node 151: INFO [HintedHandoff:1] 2013-01-30 21:04:45,821 HintedHandOffManager.java (line 296) Started hinted handoff for token: 85070591730234615865843651857942052864 with IP: /10.0.0.153 INFO [HintedHandoff:1] 2013-01-30 21:04:45,822 HintedHandOffManager.java (line 392) Finished hinted handoff of 0 rows to endpoint /10.0.0.153 INFO [ScheduledTasks:1] 2013-01-30 21:14:30,112 GCInspector.java (line 122) GC for ParNew: 213 ms for 1 collections, 1920192480 used;
