Hi! Thanks for the answer. I don't see much change in the load this Cassandra cluster is under, so why is the sudden surge of such messages? What I did noticed while looking at the logs (which are also running OpsCenter), is that there is some correlation between the dropped reads and flushes of OpsCenter column families to disk and or compactions. What are the rollups CFs? why is there so much traffic in them? Thanks, *Tamar Fraenkel * Senior Software Engineer, TOK Media
