Hi Yuan, You machine instance is 4 vcpus that is 4 threads (not cores!!!), aside from any Cassandra specific discussion a system load of 10 on a 4 threads machine is way too much in my opinion. If that is the running average system load I would look deeper into system details. Is that IO wait? Is that CPU Stolen? Is that a Cassandra only instance or are there other processes pushing the load? What does your "nodetool tpstats" say? Hoe many dropped messages do you have?
