> 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).
