I see now :
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2521?focusedCommentId=13050396&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13050396
but my logs doesn't show the error from
MMappedSegmentedFile:
public static void initCleaner()
{
try
{
cleanerMethod =
Class.forName("sun.nio.ch.DirectBuffer").getMethod("cleaner");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
// Perhaps a non-sun-derived JVM - contributions welcome
logger.info("Cannot initialize un-mmaper. (Are you using
a non-SUN JVM?) Compacted data files will not be removed promptly.
Consider using a SUN JVM or using standard disk access mode");
}
}
and indeed I'm using openJDK. I'll switch to sun jdk, but am still
curious why cleanerMethod is null in my case but I don't see the log
message
