Thank you very much. I figured out the number of tables is the cause yesterday. Your analysis confirmed that.

It is waking up every 5 seconds, and updating Meters… there are a bunch of these Meters per table (embedded in Timers), so your large 1500 table count is basically most of the problem. AFAIK there is no way to turn the metrics off; they also power the JMX interfaces. On Oct 24, 2015, at 7:54 AM, Xu Zhongxing <xu_zhong_x...@163.com> wrote: The cassandra version is 2.0.12.
