Hi Chris! If you look at the "master" page on the monitor, does it show a large number of entries in memory?
If you look at the "garbage collector" page on the monitor, what does it report for the last cycle? Can you upload the log file(s) for the GC and a tablet server somewhere? -Sean On Mar 30, 2014 9:09 AM, "Chris Bennight" <ch...@slowcar.net> wrote: > Cluster is a 5 node VM based accumulo 1.5 / cdh 4.5 instance. > Replication factor of 2. > > It's a dev instance, so nothing critical (though I would like to not loose > data there as it represents a week or so to re-ingest & process) > > It recently ran out of space during in ingest, so I cleared out some > tables which were no longer being used.
