Thanks

Glad I could be of help :)

Hopefully the partition size resize goes smoothly.

Hi Akhil,
 
Thank you for your reply.
 
I kept testing different timeout numbers over last week and eventually settled 
at setting *_request_timeout_in_ms parameters at 1.5minutes for coordinator 
wait time. That is the number where I donot see any dropped mutations. 
 
Also asked developers to tweak data model where we saw bunch of tables with 
really large partition size , some are ranging  Partition-key size around 
~6.6GB.. we??re now working to reduce the partition size of the tables. I am 
hoping corrected data model will help reduce coordinator wait time (get back to 
default number!)  again.
 
Thank again/Asad

Hi Asad,
 

The 5000 ms is not configurable 
(https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/8b3a60b9a7dbefeecc06bace617279612ec7092d/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/net/MessagingService.java#L423).
 This just the time after which the number of dropped messages are reported. 
Thus dropped messages are reported every 5000ms. 

 

If you are looking to tweak the number of ms after which a message is 
considered dropped then you need to use the write_request_timeout_in_ms.  The 
write_request_timeout_in_ms 
(http://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/2.1/cassandra/configuration/configCassandra_yaml_r.html)
 can be used to increase the mutation timeout. By default it is set to 2000ms.

 

I hope that helps.

 

Regards,

Akhil

Hi Akhil,

 

Thank you for your reply. Previously, I did ??tune?? various timeouts ?C 
basically increased them a bit but none of those parameter listed in the link 
matches with that ??were dropped in last 5000 ms??.

I was wondering from where that [5000ms] number is coming from when,  like I 
mentioned before, none of any timeout parameter settings matches that #!

 

Load is intermittently high but again cpu queue length never goes beyond medium 
depth. I wonder if there is some internal limit that I??m still not aware of.

 

Thanks/Asad

Hi Asad,


 


http://cassandra.apache.org/doc/latest/faq/index.html#why-message-dropped

 


As mentioned in the link above this is a load shedding mechanism used by 
Cassandra.


 


Is you cluster under heavy load?

Akhil

Hello Folks ?C


 


I??m using apache-cassandra 2.2.8.


 


I see many messages like below in my system.log file. In Cassandra.yaml file [ 
cross_node_timeout: true] is set and NTP server is also running correcting 
clock drift on 16node cluster. I do not see pending or blocked HintedHandoff  
in tpstats output though there are bunch of MUTATIONS dropped observed.


 


<start timeout message >


INFO  [ScheduledTasks:1] 2017-07-20 08:02:52,511 MessagingService.java:946 - 
MUTATION messages were dropped in last 5000 ms: 822 for internal timeout and 
2152 for cross node timeout


<end timeout message >


 


I??m seeking help here if you please let me know what I need to check in order 
to address these cross node timeouts.


 


Thank you,


Asad
