Hi All, We have a tiny 3-node cluster C* version 3.9 (I know 3.11 is better/stable, but can’t upgrade immediately) HEAP_SIZE is 2G JVM options are default All setting in cassandra.yaml are default (file_cache_size_in_mb not set)
Data per node – just ~ 1Gbyte We’re getting following errors messages: DEBUG [CompactionExecutor:87412] 2019-03-06 11:00:13,545 CompactionTask.java:150 - Compacting (ed4a4d90-4028-11e9-adc0-230e0d6622df) [/cassandra/data/data/system/sstable_activity-5a1ff267ace03f128563cfae6103c65e/mc-23248-big-Data.db:level=0, /cassandra/data/data/system/sstable_activity-5a1ff267ace03f128563cfae6103c65e/mc-23247-big-Data.db:level=0, /cassandra/data/data/system/sstable_activity-5a1ff267ace03f128563cfae6103c65e/mc-23246-big-Data.db:level=0, /cassandra/data/data/system/sstable_activity-5a1ff267ace03f128563cfae6103c65e/mc-23245-big-Data.db:level=0, ] DEBUG [CompactionExecutor:87412] 2019-03-06 11:00:13,582 CompactionTask.java:230 - Compacted (ed4a4d90-4028-11e9-adc0-230e0d6622df) 4 sstables to [/cassandra/data/data/system/sstable_activity-5a1ff267ace03f128563cfae6103c65e/mc-23249-big,] to level=0. 6.264KiB to 1.485KiB (~23% of original) in 36ms.

Reboot temporary solve the issue, but it then appears again after some time Checked, there are no huge partitions (max partition size is ~2Mbytes ) How such small amount of data may cause this issue? How to debug this issue further? Regards, Kyrill
