Hi Evan, Thanks for the suggestions!
I did not think that raising that limit was normal. Glad to have confirmation. I'll go through the logs again, and run 'riak-admin top ...' the next time it happens. -- Dave Brady ----- Original Message ----- From: "Evan Vigil-McClanahan" <[email protected]> To: "Dave Brady" <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, March 30, 2013 11:03:30 PM GMT +01:00 Amsterdam / Berlin / Bern / Rome / Stockholm / Vienna Subject: Re: Having to raise VM number-of-processes limit Dave, If you're seeing the process count go that high, it suggests to me that something else is wrong. Typically, even for heavily loaded clusters, hundreds of thousands of processes isn't normal. Is there anything else in the logs? When a node sees this sort of behavior start, does riak-admin top -sort msg_q look like?
