             Summary: Cassandra 3.10 crashes without dump
                 Key: CASSANDRA-13663
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13663
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Matthias Otto
            Priority: Minor
         Attachments: 2017-07-04 10_48_34-CloudWatch Management Console.png,

Hello. My company runs a 5 node Cassandra cluster. For the last few weeks, we 
have had a sporadic issue where one of the servers crashes without creating a 
dump file and without any error messages in the logs. If one restarts the 
service (which we have by now scripted to happen automatically), the servers 
resumes work with no complaint.

Log files of the time of the last crash are attached, thou again they do not 
log any crash happening.

Regarding out setup, we are running these servers on AMazon AWS, with 3 volumes 
per server, one for the system, one for data and one for the commitlog. When a 
crash happens, we can observe a sudden spike of read activity on the commitlog 
volume.

The servers are Ubuntu 16.04 servers and Cassandra is installed from the 
apt-get packet for version 3.10.

It is worth noting that these crashes happen more often when nodetool is 
running either repair job or a backup job, but this is by no means always the 
case. As for frequency, we have had about 1-2 crashes per week for the last 
month.
