It happened again today, though I was not available to watch it at the time.
Three nodes each showed riak_kv being stopped for one minute:
2013-04-02 11:10:57.923 [info] <0.2833.1447>@riak_kv_app:check_kv_health:239
Disabling riak_kv due to large message queues. Offending vnodes:
[{319703483166135013357056057156686910549735243776,5798}]
2013-04-02 11:11:57.924 [info] <0.3589.1447>@riak_kv_app:check_kv_health:242
Re-enabling riak_kv after successful health check

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,
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?
