> There appears to be a GC issue due to memory pressure in the 0.6 branch. You
> can see this by starting the server and performing many inserts. Quickly the
> jvm will consume most of its heap, and pauses for stop-the-world GC will
> begin. With verbose GC turned on, this can be observed as follows:
> [GC [ParNew (promotion failed): 79703K->79703K(84544K), 0.0622980
> secs][CMS[CMS-concurrent-mark: 3.678/5.031 secs] [Times: user=10.35 sys=4.22,
> real=5.03 secs]
> (concurrent mode failure): 944529K->492222K(963392K), 2.8264480 secs]
> 990745K->492222K(1047936K), 2.8890500 secs] [Times: user=2.90 sys=0.04,
> real=2.90 secs]
> After enough inserts (around 75-100 million) the server will GC storm and
> then OOM.
> jbellis and I narrowed this down to patch 0001 in CASSANDRA-724. Switching
> LBQ with ABQ made no difference, however using batch mode instead of periodic
> for the commitlog does prevent the issue from occurring. The attached
> screenshot shows the heap usage in jconsole first when the issue is
> exhibiting, a restart, and then the same amount of inserts when it does not.
