Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-9549:
-------------------------------------
It's possible there is a script in their envrionment running periodically,
asking the servers to drain. There are really very few ways for that executor
service to be shutdown (assuming it's the executor submitted to inside of the
method throwing the REE; it's hard to say with absolute certainty because the
stack trace has been compressed due to the frequency of the error generation):
the shutdown hook indicating the VM is terminating, or the drain() command.
As I said, though: more info, means we can say with greater certainty. That
full log history since restart would be a great start. A thread dump would be
the natural follow on if that was not sufficiently helpful.

> We have been experiencing a severe memory leak with Cassandra 2.1.5 that,
> over the period of a couple of days, eventually consumes all of the available
> JVM heap space, putting the JVM into GC hell where it keeps trying CMS
> collection but can't free up any heap space. This pattern happens for every
> node in our cluster and is requiring rolling cassandra restarts just to keep
> the cluster running. We have upgraded the cluster per Datastax docs from the
> 2.0 branch a couple of months ago and have been using the data from this
> cluster for more than a year without problem.
> As the heap fills up with non-GC-able objects, the CPU/OS load average grows
> along with it. Heap dumps reveal an increasing number of
> java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentLinkedQueue$Node objects. We took heap dumps
> over a 2 day period, and watched the number of Node objects go from 4M, to
> 19M, to 36M, and eventually about 65M objects before the node stops
> responding. The screen capture of our heap dump is from the 19M measurement.
> Load on the cluster is minimal. We can see this effect even with only a
> handful of writes per second. (See attachments for Opscenter snapshots during
> very light loads and heavier loads). Even with only 5 reads a sec we see this
> behavior.
> Log files show repeated errors in Ref.java:181 and Ref.java:279 and "LEAK
> detected" messages:
