Thanks. The only logs I have are system and cassandra. I've included those. I don't have gcinspector logs. I log gc via munin on other machines, but I need to install it on these. On 8/25/11 2:22 PM, Adi wrote: Ernst, Can you share the logs just before the crash. Specially the GC

Ernst, Can you share the logs just before the crash. Specially the GCInspector logs.Check the last reported used heap space and whether it was close to the threshold for full GC. Also how frequent are your OOM crashes? The cassandra default for kicking in full GC is 75% ( -XX:CMSInitiati

So, we're on 8, so I don't think there's a key cache setting. Am I wrong? here's my newest crash log: ERROR [Thread-210] 2011-08-24 06:29:53,247 AbstractCassandraDaemon.java (line 113) Fatal exception in thread Thread[Thread-210,5,main] java.util.concurrent.RejectedExecutionException: ThreadPo

First thing is are you on 0.8 ? It has some automagical memory management that is both automatic and magical http://thelastpickle.com/2011/05/04/How-are-Memtables-measured/ Secondly if you are OOM'ing you need to look at how much memory your schema is taking. See the link above, or just use 0.8

Thanks, We had already been running cassandra with a larger heap size, but it meant that java took way too long between garbage collections. The advice I'd found was to set the heap size at the 8 we're running at. It was ok for a while, but now some nodes crash. It's definitely our expe

Hi, I'm running a 16-node cassandra cluster, with a reasonably large amount of data per node (~1TB). Nodes have 16G ram, but heap is set to 8G. The nodes keep stopping with this output in the log. Any ideas? ERROR [Thread-85] 2011-08-23 21:00:38,723 AbstractCassandraDaemon.java (line 113)
