Per Otterström commented on CASSANDRA-12876: -------------------------------------------- Overflow don't happen at the start of the 30 minute cycle because 1) it takes a while to build up high enough values in the individual buckets and 2) values collected at the end of the 30-minute cycle will have much higher forward-decay weight which cause bucket values to build up much faster. In your case you are seeing this at the last 3 minutes of the 30-minute cycle, because only then will the forward-decay weight be high enough. > Negative mean write latency > --------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-12876 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12876 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Observability > Reporter: Kévin LOVATO > Assignee: Per Otterström > Fix For: 2.2.9 > > Attachments: 12876-2.2.txt, negative_mean.png, > negative_mean_details.PNG, negative_mean_periodicity.PNG > > > The mean write latency returned by JMX turns negative every 30 minutes.
