You didn’t mention version, but I saw this kind of thing very often in the 1.1 line. Often this is connected to network flakiness. Are these VMs? In the cloud? Connected over a WAN? You mention that ping seems fine. Take a look at the phi_convict_threshold in c assandra.yaml. You may need to increase it to reduce the UP/DOWN flapping behavior.

I have debug logging on and see no GC pauses that are that long. GC pauses are all well below 1s and 99 times out of 100 below 100ms. Do I need to enable GC log options to see the pauses? I see plenty of these lines: DEBUG [ScheduledTasks:1] 2016-02-22 10:43:02,891 GCInspector.java (line 118) GC for ParNew: 24 ms for 1 collections as well as a few CMS GC log lines. Best regards, Joel 2016-02-23 15:14 GMT+01:00 Hannu Kröger <hkro...@gmail.com<mailto:hkro...@gmail.com>>: Hi, Those are probably GC pauses. Memory tuning is probably needed. Check the parameters that you already have customised if they make sense. http://blog.mikiobraun.de/2010/08/cassandra-gc-tuning.html Hannu On 23 Feb 2016, at 16:08, Joel Samuelsson <samuelsson.j...@gmail.com<mailto:samuelsson.j...@gmail.com>> wrote: Our nodes go down periodically, around 1-2 times each day.

I logged a ping with timestamp and checked during the same time and saw nothing weird (ping is less than 2ms at all times). Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this might happen?
