Re: Continuous hints getting generated even when nodes are Up

2022-02-16 Thread Bowen Song
Cassandra 3.0.9 is a very old version, many bugs have been discovered 
and fixed since then. You really should consider upgrading to the latest 
version (3.0.26 / 3.11 / 4.0).


Write failures (such as timeout) can generate hints even when all nodes 
are up. You should check the logs and metrics to make sure writes were 
not failing.


Tombstone won't directly cause nodes creating hints, but the side effect 
of too many tombstones, such as long GC pauses, may cause it.


I'm not sure where does the "Unknown column during serialization" come 
from, but if this is on the write path, it may cause hints generation. 
You may need to dig into the source code to confirm the source of this 
message.

Hello Team,

I'm using Cassandra 3.0.9.
Recently I have observed that, all the nodes in my cluster are 
generated hints.

All the nodes are upĀ  but I do see hints getting generated continuously.

In the logs

I see tombstone warnings, but frequency is less
I also see frequent message
Unknown column during serialization.

In the nodetool tpstats o/p i do see hintsdispatcher has actiive 
thread as 1 and pending as 42.


The cluster is spread over multiple datacenters as well.

Kindly suggest what may be inferred from above.

Thanks
