-------------------------------------------
Marcus, are you able to test the attached patch?
> Hinted Handoff - related OOM
> ----------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-3624
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3624
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0
> Reporter: Marcus Eriksson
> Assignee: Jonathan Ellis
> Labels: hintedhandoff
> Fix For: 1.0.7

> One of our nodes had collected alot of hints for another node, so when the
> dead node came back and the row mutations were read back from disk, the node
> died with an OOM-exception (and kept dying after restart, even with increased
> heap (from 8G to 12G)). The heap dump contained alot of SuperColumns and our
> application does not use those (but HH does).
> I'm guessing that each mutation is big so that PAGE_SIZE*<mutation_size> does
> not fit in memory (will check this tomorrow)
> A simple fix (if my assumption above is correct) would be to reduce the
> PAGE_SIZE in HintedHandOffManager.java to something like 10 (or even 1?) to
> reduce the memory pressure. The performance hit would be small since we are
> doing the hinted handoff throttle delay sleep before sending every *mutation*
> anyway (not every page), thoughts?
> If anyone runs in to the same problem, I got the node started again by simply
> removing the HintsColumnFamily* files.
