Quentin Conner updated CASSANDRA-6127:
--------------------------------------
Attachment: AdjustableGossipPeriod.patch
This is patch #2. It adds a new configuration item in cassandra.yaml,
"gossip_period". Set it in milliseconds.
Setting the gossip period by JMX will be lost if stop/restart gossip so needs
more work. Reading from JMX seems fine.
This also isn't DRY. Should set the value for intervalInMillis, from config,
in a static initializer. Wasn't sure if config object is available in that
scope.
> vnodes don't scale to hundreds of nodes
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-6127
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6127
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Environment: Any cluster that has vnodes and consists of hundreds of
> physical nodes.
> Reporter: Tupshin Harper
> Assignee: Jonathan Ellis

>
> There are a lot of gossip-related issues related to very wide clusters that
> also have vnodes enabled. Let's use this ticket as a master in case there are
> sub-tickets.
> The most obvious symptom I've seen is with 1000 nodes in EC2 with m1.xlarge
> instances. Each node configured with 32 vnodes.
> Without vnodes, cluster spins up fine and is ready to handle requests within
> 30 minutes or less.
> With vnodes, nodes are reporting constant up/down flapping messages with no
> external load on the cluster. After a couple of hours, they were still
> flapping, had very high cpu load, and the cluster never looked like it was
> going to stabilize or be useful for traffic.
