`nodetool cleanup` is a very expensive process: it performs a major compaction, and should not be done that frequently.

This stopped the disk space from going too low. The manual solution you mentioned is likely worthy of consideration as the load balancing is taking a while. I will track the jira issue of anticompaction and diskspace. Thanks for the pointer.

If you are using replicationfactor=1, scp the data to the previous node on the ring, then reduce the original node's token so it isn't responsible for so much, and run cleanup. (you can do this w/ higher RF too, you just have to scp the data more places.) Finally, you could work on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-579 so it doesn't need to anticompact to disk before moving data. -Jonathan On Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 12:06 PM, shiv shivaji <shivaji...@yahoo.com> wrote: > According to the stack trace I get in the log, it makes it look like the > patch was for anti-compaction but I did not look at the source code in > detail yet. > > java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: > java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: disk full > at > java.util.concurrent.FutureTask$Sync.innerGet(FutureTask.java:222) > at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.get(FutureTask.java:83) > at > org.apache.cassandra.concurrent.DebuggableThreadPoolExecutor.afterExecute(DebuggableThreadPoolExecutor.java:86) > at > org.apache.cassandra.db.CompactionManager$CompactionExecutor.afterExecute(CompactionManager.java:570) > at > java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:888) > at > java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:908) > at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) > Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: disk full > at > org.apache.cassandra.db.CompactionManager.doAntiCompaction(CompactionManager.java:344) > at > org.apache.cassandra.db.CompactionManager.doCleanupCompaction(CompactionManager.java:405) > at > org.apache.cassandra.db.CompactionManager.access$400(CompactionManager.java:49) > at > org.apache.cassandra.db.CompactionManager$2.call(CompactionManager.java:130) > at > java.util.concurrent.FutureTask$Sync.innerRun(FutureTask.java:303) > at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:138) > at > java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:886) > ... 2 more > > I tried "nodetool cleanup" before and it did not really stop the disk from > filling, is there a way to force move the data or some other way to solve > the issue? > > Thanks, Shiv > > ________________________________ > From: Jonathan Ellis <jbel...@gmail.com> > To: cassandra-user@incubator.apache.org > Sent: Wed, February 24, 2010 7:16:32 AM > Subject: Re: Anti-compaction Diskspace issue even when latest patch applied > > The patch you refer to was to help *compaction*, not *anticompaction*. > > If the space is mostly hints for other machines (is that what you > meant by "due to past problems with others?") you should run nodeprobe > cleanup on it to remove data that doesn't actually belong on that > node. > > -Jonathan > > On Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 3:09 AM, shiv shivaji <shivaji...@yahoo.com> wrote: >> For about 6TB of total data size with a replication factor of 2 (6TB x 2) >> on a five node cluster, I see about 4.6 TB on one machine (due to >> potential >> past problems with other machines).
