Torsten Curdt commented on CASSANDRA-1014:
------------------------------------------
As discussed on IRC I've force a GC which indeed helped.
[code]
$>get -b java.lang:type=Memory HeapMemoryUsage
#mbean = java.lang:type=Memory:
HeapMemoryUsage = {
committed = 919076864;
init = 268435456;
max = 1072758784;
used = 383.973.136;
};
$>run -b java.lang:type=Memory gc
#calling operation gc of mbean java.lang:type=Memory
$>get -b java.lang:type=Memory HeapMemoryUsage
#mbean = java.lang:type=Memory:
HeapMemoryUsage = {
committed = 919076864;
init = 268435456;
max = 1072758784;
used = 60.719.096;
};

So it looks like we were hitting this with 0.6.2 as well. IIUC this should be
fixed in 0.6.3?
What's interesting is that writing through the StorageProxy our cluster is
behaving much better. Even without a fix.

> There appears to be a GC issue due to memory pressure in the 0.6 branch. You
> can see this by starting the server and performing many inserts. Quickly the
> jvm will consume most of its heap, and pauses for stop-the-world GC will
> begin. With verbose GC turned on, this can be observed as follows:
> [GC [ParNew (promotion failed): 79703K->79703K(84544K), 0.0622980
> secs][CMS[CMS-concurrent-mark: 3.678/5.031 secs] [Times: user=10.35 sys=4.22,
> real=5.03 secs]
> (concurrent mode failure): 944529K->492222K(963392K), 2.8264480 secs]
> 990745K->492222K(1047936K), 2.8890500 secs] [Times: user=2.90 sys=0.04,
> real=2.90 secs]
> After enough inserts (around 75-100 million) the server will GC storm and
> then OOM.
> jbellis and I narrowed this down to patch 0001 in CASSANDRA-724. Switching
> LBQ with ABQ made no difference, however using batch mode instead of periodic
> for the commitlog does prevent the issue from occurring. The attached
> screenshot shows the heap usage in jconsole first when the issue is
> exhibiting, a restart, and then the same amount of inserts when it does not.
