Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-7567:
-------------------------------------
Which mode of connectivity? "smart thrift" and cql native3 both use token aware
routing from the Java driver (smart thrift does its own fairly dumb round-robin
for a given token range), so will go directly to a random node in the cluster.
Java driver I don't think we have any easy API control over what nodes we
connect to, and I'm not sure there's a lot of point making "smart thrift" too
smart, since it's only there to compare fairly against cql native3's
token-aware routing. Regular thrift mode won't do this.

> Key: CASSANDRA-7567
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7567
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Environment: debian 7.5, bare metal, 14 nodes, 64CPUs, 64GB RAM,
> commit_log disk sata, data disk SSD, vnodes, leveled compaction strategy
> Reporter: David O'Dell
> Assignee: Brandon Williams
> Fix For: 2.1.0
>
> Attachments: 7567.logs.bz2, write_request_latency.png
>
>
> We've run into a situation where a single node out of 14 is experiencing high
> disk io. This can happen when a node is being decommissioned or after it
> joins the ring and runs into the bug cassandra-6621.
> When this occurs the write latency for the entire cluster spikes.
> From 0.3ms to 170ms.
> To simulate this simply run dd on the commit_log disk (dd if=/dev/zero
> of=/tmp/foo bs=1024) and you will see that instantly all nodes in the cluster
> have slowed down.
> BTW overwhelming the data disk does not have this same effect.
> Also I've tried this where the overwhelmed node isn't being connected
> directly from the client and it still has the same effect.
