Christian Esken commented on CASSANDRA-13265:
---------------------------------------------
bq. It should include drained messages as well
OMG, right. I thought about that concluded it is correct to exclude. But
obviously the messages are already drained from the queue, so they must be
added.
bq. We don't do/allow author tags
OOPS, always this oversmart IDE :-)
bq. This needs to be configurable
Oh. Even more work. This is getting bigger than anticipated, but I am happy to
do it. Thanks for the hints on how do do the Configuration. I will work on it
later this day or tomorrow.

> Key: CASSANDRA-13265
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13265
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment: Cassandra 3.0.9
> Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM version 25.112-b15 (Java version
> 1.8.0_112-b15)
> Linux 3.16
> Reporter: Christian Esken

> I observed that sometimes a single node in a Cassandra cluster fails to
> communicate to the other nodes. This can happen at any time, during peak load
> or low load. Restarting that single node from the cluster fixes the issue.
> Before going in to details, I want to state that I have analyzed the
> situation and am already developing a possible fix. Here is the analysis so
> far:
> - A Threaddump in this situation showed 324 Threads in the
> OutboundTcpConnection class that want to lock the backlog queue for doing
> expiration.
> - A class histogram shows 262508 instances of
> OutboundTcpConnection$QueuedMessage.
> What is the effect of it? As soon as the Cassandra node has reached a certain
> amount of queued messages, it starts thrashing itself to death. Each of the
> Thread fully locks the Queue for reading and writing by calling
> iterator.next(), making the situation worse and worse.
> - Writing: Only after 262508 locking operation it can progress with actually
> writing to the Queue.
> - Reading: Is also blocked, as 324 Threads try to do iterator.next(), and
> fully lock the Queue
> This means: Writing blocks the Queue for reading, and readers might even be
> starved which makes the situation even worse.
> -----
> The setup is:
> - 3-node cluster
> - replication factor 2
> - Consistency LOCAL_ONE
> - No remote DC's
> - high write throughput (100000 INSERT statements per second and more during
> peak times).
