The dmesg command will usually show information about hardware errors.

An example from a spinning disk:
    sd 0:0:10:0: [sdi] Unhandled sense code
    sd 0:0:10:0: [sdi] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE
    sd 0:0:10:0: [sdi] Sense Key : Medium Error [current]
    Info fld=0x6fc72
    sd 0:0:10:0: [sdi] Add. Sense: Unrecovered read error
    sd 0:0:10:0: [sdi] CDB: Read(10): 28 00 00 06 fc 70 00 00 08 00


Also, you can read the file like  "cat  
/data/ssd2/data/KeyspaceMetadata/x-x/lb-26203-big-Data.db > /dev/null"
If you get an error message, it's probably a hardware issue.

Hi Jon,

Good question, I'm not sure if we're using NVMe, I don't see /dev/nvme but we 
could still be using it.
We using Cisco UCS C220 M4 SFF so I'm just going to check the spec.

Our Kernal is the following, we're using REDHAT so I'm told we can't upgrade 
the version until the next major release anyway.
root@cass 0 17:32:28 ~ # uname -r
3.10.0-957.5.1.el7.x86_64

Cheers,
Phil

The data is sensitive and the customer would lose their mind if I sent it

The corruption is occurring irregularly on every server and instance and column 
family in the cluster.  Out of 72 instances, we are getting maybe 10 corrupt 
files per day.
We are using vnodes (256) and it is happening in both DC's

@Asad - internode compression is set to ALL on every server.  I have checked 
the packets for the private interconnect and I can't see any dropped packets, 
there are dropped packets for other interfaces, but not for the private ones, I 
will get the network team to double-check this.
The corruption is only on the application schema, we are not getting corruption 
on any system or cass keyspaces.  Corruption is happening in both DC's.  We are 
getting corruption for the 1 application schema we have across all tables in 
the keyspace, it's not limited to one table.
Im not sure why the app team decided to not use default compression, I must ask 
them.



I have been checking the /var/log/messages today going back a few weeks and can 
see a serious amount of broken pipe errors across all servers and instances.
Here is a snippet from one server but most pipe errors are similar:

is this corruption limited so certain keyspace/table | DCs or is that wide 
spread – the log snippet you shared it looked like only specific keyspace/table 
is affected – is that correct?

When you remove corrupted sstable of a certain table, I guess you verifies all 
nodes for corrupted sstables for same table (may be with with nodetool scrub 
tool) so to limit spread of corruptions – right?

Just curious to know – you’re not using lz4/default compressor for all tables 
there must be some reason for it.

Subject: Re: Datafile Corruption



Hi All,

Thank you so much for the replies.

Currently, I have the following list that can potentially cause some sort of 
corruption in a Cassandra cluster.

  *   Sudden Power cut  -  We have had no power cuts in the datacenters
  *   Network Issues - no network issues from what I can tell
  *   Disk full - I don't think this is an issue for us, see disks below.
  *   An issue in Casandra version like Cassandra-13752 - couldn't find any 
Jira issues similar to ours.
  *   Bit Flips - we have compression enabled so I don't think this should be 
an issue.
  *   Repair during upgrade has caused corruption too - we have not upgraded
  *   Dropping and adding columns with the same name but a different type - I 
will need to ask the apps team how they are using the database.


Ok, let me try and explain the issue we are having, I am under a lot of 
pressure from above to get this fixed and I can't figure it out.

This is a PRE-PROD environment.

  *   2 datacenters.
  *   9 physical servers in each datacenter
  *   4 Cassandra instances on each server
  *   72 Cassandra instances across the 2 data centres, 36 in site A, 36 in 
site B.

We also have 2 Reaper Nodes we use for repair.  One reaper node in each 
datacenter each running with its own Cassandra back end in a cluster together.

Description of problem:
During repair of the cluster, we are seeing multiple corruptions in the log 
files on a lot of instances.  There seems to be no pattern to the corruption.  
It seems that the repair job is finding all the corrupted files for us.  The 
repair will hang on the node where the corrupted file is found.  To fix this we 
remove/rename the datafile and bounce the Cassandra instance.  Our hardware/OS 
team have stated there is no problem on their side.  I do not believe it the 
repair causing the corruption.

We have maintenance scripts that run every night running compactions and 
creating snapshots, I decided to turn these off, fix any corruptions we 
currently had and ran major compaction on all nodes, once this was done we had 
a "clean" cluster and we left the cluster for a few days.  After the process we 
noticed one corruption in the cluster, this datafile was created after I turned 
off the maintenance scripts so my theory of the scripts causing the issue was 
wrong.  We then kicked off another repair and started to find more corrupt 
files created after the maintenance script was turned off.


So let me give you an example of a corrupted file and maybe someone might be 
able to work through it with me?

When this corrupted file was reported in the log it looks like it was the 
repair that found it.

So I went to the file system to see when this corrupt file was created and it 
was created on July 30th at 15.55

root@x 0 01:14:03 ~ # ls -l 
/data/ssd2/data/KeyspaceMetadata/x-x/lb-26203-big-Data.db
-rw-r--r-- 1 cass_b cass_b 3182243670 Jul 30 15:55 
/data/ssd2/data/KeyspaceMetadata/x-x/lb-26203-big-Data.db



So I checked /var/log/messages for errors around that time
The only thing that stands out to me is the message "Cannot perform a full 
major compaction as repaired and unrepaired sstables cannot be compacted 
together", I'm not sure if this would be an issue though and cause corruption.

We have checked a number of other things like NTP setting etc but nothing is 
telling us what could cause so many corruptions across the entire cluster.
Things were healthy with this cluster for months, the only thing I can think is 
that we started loading data from a load of 20GB per instance up to 200GB where 
it sits now, maybe this just highlighted the issue.



Compaction and Compression on Keyspace CL's [mixture]
All CF's are using compression.

AND compaction = {'min_threshold': '4', 'class': 
'org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.SizeTieredCompactionStrategy', 
'max_threshold': '32'}
AND compression = {'sstable_compression': 
'org.apache.cassandra.io.compress.SnappyCompressor'}

AND compaction = {'min_threshold': '4', 'class': 
'org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.SizeTieredCompactionStrategy', 
'max_threshold': '32'}
AND compression = {'sstable_compression': 
'org.apache.cassandra.io.compress.LZ4Compressor'}

AND compaction = {'class': 
'org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.LeveledCompactionStrategy'}
AND compression = {'sstable_compression': 
'org.apache.cassandra.io.compress.SnappyCompressor'}

--We are also using internode network compression:
internode_compression: all



Does anyone have any idea what I should check next?
Our next theory is that there may be an issue with Checksum, but I'm not sure 
where to go with this.



Any help would be very much appreciated before I lose the last bit of hair I 
have on my head.



Kind Regards,

Phil

Repair during upgrade have caused corruption too.



Also, dropping and adding columns with same name but different type

Is compression enabled?



If not, bit flips on disk can corrupt data files and reads + repair may send 
that corruption to other hosts in the cluster

Hi All,



I am currently experiencing multiple datafile corruptions across most nodes in 
my cluster, there seems to be no pattern to the corruption.  I'm starting to 
think it might be a bug, we're using Cassandra 2.2.13.



Without going into detail about the issue I just want to confirm something.



Can someone share with me a list of scenarios that would cause corruption?



1. OS failure

2. Cassandra disturbed during the writing



etc etc.



I need to investigate each scenario and don't want to leave any out.
