What Kai Wang is hinting at: one of the common tuning problems people face is 
they follow the advice in cassandra-env.sh, which says 100M of young gen space 
(Xmn) per core. Many people find that insufficient – raising that to be 30,40, 
or 50% of heap size (Xmx) MAY help keep short-lived objects (especially from 
the read path) in young gen rather than promoted to old gen, so they’ll be 
dropped quickly rather than promoted/cleaned with stop-the-world phase of CMS.

It’s often the case that increasing Xmn and setting XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=6 
or 8 will reduce the number of long CMS pauses.

Subject:  Re: too many full gc in one node of the cluster

What's the size of young generation (-Xmn) ?

Used to manage/develop for cassandra 1.0.8 for quite sometime. Although 1.0 was 
rocking stable but we encountered various problems as load per node grow beyond 
500gb. upgrading is one of the solution but may not be the solution for you but 
I strongly recommend you upgrade to 1.1 or 1.2. we upgraded the java on the 
cassandra node and cassandra to 1.1 and a lot of problems went away.

As for your use cases, a quick solution would probably to just add nodes, or 
study client reading pattern so not on a node hot row (the has on the key), or 
the client configuration on your application and/or the keyspace replication.

Hi,

We have a small cassandra cluster with 4 nodes for production. All the nodes 
have similar hardware configuration and similar data load. The C* version is 
1.0.7 (prretty old)

One of the node has much higher cpu usage than others and high full gc 
frequency, but the io of this node is not high and data load of this node is 
even lower. So I have several questions:

1. Is that normal that one of the node having much higher full gc with same jvm 
configuration?
2. Does this node need special gc tuning and how?
3. How to find the cause of the full gc?

Thank you guys!


The heap size is 8G and max heap size is 16G. The gc config of cassandra-env.sh 
is default:

JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -XX:+UseParNewGC"
JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC"
JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -XX:+CMSParallelRemarkEnabled"
JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -XX:SurvivorRatio=8"
JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=1"
JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=75"
JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -XX:+UseCMSInitiatingOccupancyOnly"
