Ariel Weisberg commented on CASSANDRA-13265:
--------------------------------------------
Great! Most regular contributors are linking to a branch in their fork, but
there are issues with that (people force update, delete branches). You don't
have to attach a patch to get it to submit patch.
I do need a patch for each branch. 2.2, 3.0, 3.11 and trunk. We try to push the
work of dealing with the merge conflicts to the assignees over the committers.
Use whatever method you prefer to submit the code.
When you have all of the patches I'll kick off test runs. It's going to take a
while for the dtests to run right now.

> 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).
