Hi, I've a production Cassandra cluster from 3.0.14 branch. Each node consists of roughly 1.5TB data with a ring size 70+70. I need to add more capacity to meet production demand, but when I add 71st node, then it streams data from other nodes as expected, but after some-time it spends an enormous amount of time doing GCs, and freezes.
Snippet from the log file... {"@timestamp":"2022-04-23T02:21:38.030+00:00","@version":1,"message":"G1 Old Generation GC in 18288ms. G1 Old Gen: 34206148032 -> 33725019032; ","logger_name":"o.a.c.service.GCInspector","thread_name":"Service Thread","level":"WARN","level_value":30000} The new node has around 1.5M SSTables (from multiple tables). If I reduce the SSTable count to below 500K, then it joins fine. I am using LCS compaction with default settings. I've tried changing to STCS, but no luck :( Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot! Jaydeep
