I have seen this behavour when Commitlog files got deleted (or permissions were set to read only).
MemtablePostFlusher is the stage that marks the Commitlog as flushed. When they fail it usually means there is something wrong with the commitlog files. Check your logfiles for any commitlog related errors. regards, Christian On Tue, Jul 15, 2014 at 7:03 PM, Kais Ahmed <k...@neteck-fr.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > I have a small cluster (2 nodes RF 2) running with C* 2.0.6 on I2 Extra > Large (AWS) with SSD disk, > the nodetool tpstats shows many MemtablePostFlusher pending and > FlushWriter All time blocked. > > The two nodes have the default configuration.
