Well, looking through logs I confirmed that my understanding below is correct, 
but would be good to hear from experts for sure šŸ˜Š

Subject: RemoveNode CPU Spike Question

Hello,

Recently, I started noticing an interesting pattern. When I execute 
ā€œremovenodeā€, a subset of the nodes that now own the tokens result it in a CPU 
spike / disk activity, and sometimes SSTables on those nodes shoot up.

After looking through the code, it appears to me that below function forces 
data to be streamed from some of the new nodes to the node from where 
ā€œremovenodeā€ is kicked in. Is my understanding correct ?

https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/d384e781d6f7c028dbe88cfe9dd3e966e72cd046/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/service/StorageService.java#L2548<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fapache%2Fcassandra%2Fblob%2Fd384e781d6f7c028dbe88cfe9dd3e966e72cd046%2Fsrc%2Fjava%2Forg%2Fapache%2Fcassandra%2Fservice%2FStorageService.java%23L2548&data=02%7C01%7CAnubhav.Kale%40microsoft.com%7C173daa48fcaf4ca6498d08d43982318c%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636196678720784947&sdata=JZ9zWh%2FtJJ%2FbhXXkT41yQhANKaUSBHfP53WraY2vL8M%3D&reserved=0>

Our nodes donā€™t run very hot, but it appears this streaming causes them to have 
issues. Have other people seen this ?

Thanks !
