Donald Smith edited comment on CASSANDRA-8245 at 12/30/14 7:36 PM: ------------------------------------------------------------------- We're getting a similar increase in the number of pending Gossip stage tasks, followed by OutOfMemory. This happens once a day or so on some node of our 38 node DC. Other nodes have increases in pending Gossip stage tasks but they recover. This is with C* 2.0.11. We have two other DCs. ntpd is running on all nodes. But all nodes on one DC are down now. What's odd is that the cassandra process continues running despite the OutOfMemory exception. You'd expect it to exit. Prior to getting OutOfMemory, I notice that such nodes are slow in responding to commands and queries (e.g., jmx). {noformat} WARN [GossipTasks:1] 2014-12-26 02:45:06,204 Gossiper.java (line 648) Gossip stage has 2695 pending tasks; skipping status check (no nodes will be marked down) ERROR [Thread-49234] 2014-12-26 07:18:42,281 CassandraDaemon.java (line 199) Exception in thread Thread[Thread-49234,5,main] java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space ....
