Amit Singh Chowdhery commented on CASSANDRA-11985: -------------------------------------------------- We tried finding fixes for tracking open files but didn't get much what we expected. So Sylvain Lebresne could you please provide few JIRA tickets related. It will of great help to us. Waiting for getting positive response from you . > 2.0.x leaks file handles (Again) > -------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-11985 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11985 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Compaction > Environment: Unix kernel-2.6.32-431.56.1.el6.x86_64, Cassandra 2.0.14 > Reporter: Amit Singh Chowdhery > Priority: Critical > Labels: Compaction > > We are running Cassandra 2.0.14 in production environment and disk usage is > very high. On investigating it further we found that there are around 4-5 > files(~ 150 GB) in stuck mode. > Command Fired : lsof /var/lib/cassandra | grep -i deleted > Output : > java 12158 cassandra 308r REG 8,16 34396638044 12727268 > /var/lib/cassandra/data/mykeyspace/mycolumnfamily/mykeyspace-mycolumnfamily-jb-16481-Data.db > (deleted) > java 12158 cassandra 327r REG 8,16 101982374806 12715102 > /var/lib/cassandra/data/mykeyspace/mycolumnfamily/mykeyspace-mycolumnfamily-jb-126861-Data.db > (deleted) > java 12158 cassandra 339r REG 8,16 12966304784 12714010 > /var/lib/cassandra/data/mykeyspace/mycolumnfamily/mykeyspace-mycolumnfamily-jb-213548-Data.db > (deleted) > java 12158 cassandra 379r REG 8,16 15323318036 12714957 > /var/lib/cassandra/data/mykeyspace/mycolumnfamily/mykeyspace-mycolumnfamily-jb-182936-Data.db > (deleted) > we are not able to see these files in any directory. This is somewhat similar > to CASSANDRA-6275 which is fixed but still issue is there on higher version. > Also in logs no error related to compaction is reported. > so could any one of you please provide any suggestion how to counter this. > Restarting Cassandra is one solution but this issue keeps on occurring so we > cannot restart production machine is not recommended so frequently. > Also we know that this version is not supported but there is high probability > that it can occur in higher version too. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
