Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-3640: ------------------------------------------- I think I misunderstood on irc. The dynamic snitch is populated based on client requests, so it's normal for that to be empty here. It sounds like the real question is, "were other nodes directing requests away from the poorly performing ones, and if not, what did their dsnitch contents look like?" > Dynamic Snitch does not compute scores if no direct reads hit the node. > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-3640 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3640 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Edward Capriolo > Priority: Minor > > We can into an interesting situation. We added 2 nodes to our cluster. > Strangely this node performed worse then other nodes. It had more IOwait for > example. The impact was not major but it was noticeable. Later I determined > that this Cassandra node was not in our client's list of nodes and our > clients do not auto discover. I confirmed that the host did not have any > scores inside it's dynamic snitch. > It is counter intuitive that a node receiving less or no direct user requests > would perform worse then others. I am not sure of the dynamic that caused > this. > I understand that DSnitch is supposed to have it's own view of the world, > maybe it could share information with neighbours. Again this is more of a > client configuration issue then a direct Cassandra issue, but I found it > quite interesting. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
