Node 2 has slightly higher data but that should be ok. Not sure how read ops are so high when no IO intensive activity such as repair and compaction is running on node 3.May be you can try investigating logs to see whats happening. Others on the mailing list could also share their views on the situation.

The nodes were replaced following the instructions in Datastax documentation for replacing running nodes since the nodes were running fine, it was that the servers had been incorrectly initialised and they thus had less disk space. The status below shows 2 has significantly higher load, however as I say 2 is operating normally and is running compactions, so I guess that's not an issue?

How do you replace nodes? When you say bad node..I understand that the node is no more usable even though Cassandra is UP? Is that correct? If a node is in bad shape and not working, adding new node may trigger streaming huge data from bad node too. Have you considered using the procedure for replacing a dead node?

To add some more flavour: - We have a 3-node ring, replication factor = 3. We’ve been running in this configuration for a few years without any real issues - Nodes 2 & 3 are much newer than node 1. These two nodes were brought in to replace two other nodes which had failed RAID0 configuration and thus were lacking in disk space. - When node 2 was brought into the ring, it exhibited high CPU wait, IO and load metrics - We subsequently brought 3 into the ring: as soon as 3 was fully bootstrapped, the load, CPU wait and IO stats on 2 dropped to normal levels. Those same stats on 3, however, sky-rocketed - We’ve confirmed configuration across all three nodes are identical and in line with the recommended production settings - We’ve run a full repair - Node 2 is currently running compactions, 1 & 3 aren’t and have no pending - There is no GC happening from what I can see. Node 1 has a GC log, but that’s not been written to since May last year What we’re seeing at the moment is similar and normal stats on nodes 1 & 2, but high CPU wait, IO and load stats on 3. As a snapshot: - Load: 3.96, CPU wait: 30.8%, Disk Read Ops: 408/s - Load: 5.88, CPU wait: 14.6%, Disk Read Ops: 275/s - Load: 58.15, CPU wait: 87.0%, Disk Read Ops: 2,408/s Can you recommend any next steps?

Analysis of sar report to check system health -cpu memory swap disk etc. System seems to be overloaded. This is evident from mutation drops. 2. Make sure that all recommended Cassandra production settings available at Datastax site are applied ,disable zone reclaim and THP. 3.Run full Repair on bad node and check data size. Node is owner of maximum token range but has significant lower data.I doubt that bootstrapping happened properly. 4.Compactionstats shows 22 pending compactions. Try throttling compactions via reducing cincurent compactors or compaction throughput. 5.Analyze logs to make sure bootstrapping happened without errors. 6. Look for other common performance problems such as GC pauses to make sure that dropped mutations are not caused by GC pauses.

For the next two weeks it had high disk and network activity. We replaced the server, but it's happened again. We've looked into memory allowances, disk performance, number of connections, and all the nodetool stats, but can't find the cause of the issue. `nodetool tpstats`[0] shows a lot of active and pending threads, in comparison to the rest of the cluster, but that's likely a symptom, not a cause. `nodetool status`[1] shows the cluster isn't quite balanced. The bad node (D) has less data. Disk Activity[2] and Network activity[3] on this node is far higher than the rest. The only other difference this node has to the rest of the cluster is that its on the ext4 filesystem, whereas the rest are ext3, but we've done plenty of testing there and can't see how that would affect performance on this node so much. Nothing of note in system.log. What should our next step be in trying to diagnose this issue?
