Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-9681:
-------------------------------------
40m? That's unreasonable, but I'm afraid I'm not sure what you can do to make
it faster. It should be pretty quick, really. It's possible the -F option makes
it slower, by taking a suboptimal avenue.
It looks like the space used grows slowly but steadily in your previous graphs.
Perhaps to avoid the issue of another healthy heap dump and other problems, we
should wait until the line is consistently above the healthy mark...
In the meantime, those other log files (during the most severe period) could be
helpful.

> Key: CASSANDRA-9681

> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment: C* 2.1.7, Debian Wheezy
> Reporter: mlowicki
> Assignee: Benedict
> Priority: Critical

> C* 2.1.7 cluster is behaving really bad after 1-2 days.
> {{gauges.cassandra.jmx.org.apache.cassandra.metrics.ColumnFamily.AllMemtablesHeapSize.Value}}
> jumps to 7 GB

> on 3/6 nodes in each data center and then there are many long GC pauses.
> Cluster is using default heap size values ({{-Xms8192M -Xmx8192M -Xmn2048M}})
> Before C* 2.1.5 memtables heap size was basically constant ~500MB
> (https://www.dropbox.com/s/fjdywik5lojstvn/Screenshot%202015-06-29%2019.30.00.png?dl=0)
> After restarting all nodes is behaves stable for 1-2days. Today I've done
> that and long GC pauses are gone (~18:00
> https://www.dropbox.com/s/7vo3ynz505rsfq3/Screenshot%202015-06-29%2019.28.37.png?dl=0).
> The only pattern we've found so far is that long GC pauses are happening
> basically at the same time on all nodes in the same data center - even on the
> ones where memtables heap size is not growing.
> Cliffs on the graphs are nodes restarts.
> Used memory on boxes where {{AllMemtabelesHeapSize}} grows, stays at the same
> level -

> Replication factor is set to 3.
