Jeff Griffith commented on CASSANDRA-10515:
-------------------------------------------
btw, we tried commitlog_segment_recycling: false but we realized after this
should already be the default. we briefly thought it made a difference after
restart that node but the problem did return after several hours. there is some
mention in another jira about tuning the number of memtable flush writers.
could this be an issue? it's still difficult to explain though why we only see
this in a few nodes in the ten clusters all with the same config.
will try to get the thread dump asap.

> After upgrading from cassandra 2.0.x to 2.1.10, we began seeing problems
> where some nodes break the 12G commit log max we configured and go as high as
> 65G or more before it restarts. Once it reaches the state of more than 12G
> commit log files, "nodetool compactionstats" hangs. Eventually C* restarts
> without errors (not sure yet whether it is crashing but I'm checking into it)
> and the cleanup occurs and the commit logs shrink back down again. Here is
> the nodetool compactionstats immediately after restart.
