The number of Completed HH tasks is interesting. AFAIK a task is started when the node detects another in the cluster has returned. Were you doing some other restarts around the cluster ? I don't want to divert from the GC issue, just wondering if something else is going on as well. Like the

Just out of curiosity is this on the receiver or sender side? I have been wondering a bit if the hint playback could need some adjustment. There is potentially quite big differences on how much is sent per throttle delay time depending on what your data looks like. Early 0.7 releases also built

An if you have 10 nodes, do all of them happen to send hints to the two with GC? Terje On Thu, May 12, 2011 at 6:10 PM, Terje Marthinussen tmarthinus...@gmail.com wrote: Just out of curiosity is this on the receiver or sender side? I have been wondering a bit if the hint playback could need

Greetings, Just out of curiosity is this on the receiver or sender side? Looks like sender side, although the 2 nodes were replicating to each other so it's hard to tell. I have been wondering a bit if the hint playback could need some adjustment. There is potentially quite big

Greetings, Doesn't really look abnormal to me for a heavy write load situation which is what receiving hints is. I would agree with you but this raises some questions about write performance. Plus I've only seen this kind of behavior recently and only on 2 adjacent nodes. So I have good reason

I'm assuming the two nodes are the ones receiving the HH after they were down. Adjacent, so yes. Are there a lot of hints collected while they are down ? you can check the HintedHandOffManager MBean in JConsole There wasn't any downtime - that's something else that's weird. What
