Hi, although not happening here with Cassandra (due to using CMS), we had some weird problem with our server application e.g. hit by the following JVM/G1 bugs: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8140597 https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8141402 (more or less a duplicate of above)

Have you tried CMS with that sized heap? G1 is only really worthwhile with 24gb+ heap size, which wouldn't really make sense on machines with 28gb of RAM. In general CMS is found to work better for C*, leaving excess memory to be utilised by the OS page cache​
