Brad Schoening commented on CASSANDRA-17655: -------------------------------------------- I've only seen this with Cassandra 3.11.x, we don't have enough clusters on 4.x yet. I'm aware of +PrintAdaptiveSizePolicy, but don't understand the flamegraph suggestion. > Prevent JVM Humongous allocations > --------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-17655 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-17655 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Brad Schoening > Priority: Normal > > Several articles on Cassandra note that certain workloads, especially large > partitions, can cause humongous allocations in Java, which can be reduced, > but not always eliminated by increasing RegionSize. RegionSize max is 32MB. > Humongous allocations are an undesirable performance issue because new > objects get directly allocated in old space. > Below is a sample message seen in the gc.log > 2022-05-23T18:46:58.743+0800: 3758624.170: [GC pause (G1 Humongous > Allocation) (young) (initial-mark) 3758624.171: [G1Ergonomics (CSet > Construction) start choosing CSet, _pending_cards: 56725, predicted base > time: 39.83 ms, remaining time: 160.17 ms, target pause time: 200.00 ms] > Instead of users tweaking RegionSize, a better solution would be for > Cassandra to limit the size of allocations, or consider moving humongous > allocations off heap. > > References > [https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/gctuning/garbage-first-g1-garbage-collector1.html#GUID-D74F3CC7-CC9F-45B5-B03D-510AEEAC2DAC] > [https://stevenlacerda.medium.com/identifying-and-fixing-humongous-allocations-in-cassandra-bf46444cec41] -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.7#820007) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commits-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commits-h...@cassandra.apache.org
