Russell Alexander Spitzer commented on CASSANDRA-6042: ------------------------------------------------------ Thanks! I hoped that I had everything in the right place but it is a bit hard to keep the names/read_paths straight in my head. This was a great ticket to start diving into the read path though. Attached revised patch. > Add WARN when there are a lot of tombstones in a query > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-6042 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6042 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Jeremiah Jordan > Assignee: Russell Alexander Spitzer > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.2.11 > > Attachments: > 0001-JMX-and-Debug-Messages-for-Max-Tombstone-Scans.patch, > 0002-JMX-and-Debug-Messages-for-Max-Tombstone-Scans.patch > > > Now that we count the number of tombstones hit (so it can go in tracing), can > we pick some threshold (or make it configurable with 0 being don't warn), and > spit out a warning saying "Just went through 10000 tombstones in partition > XYZ". > Right now if you are having GC problems because some row got a bunch of > tombstones, you can turn on server side tracing, and hope the bad query gets > in there, or you can keep making heap dumps, dig through them, and hope you > catch the query in there. > I have seen code problems at multiple places causing this same issue (some > code causing way more tombstones than it should, for just one row). And it > is a PITA+Luck to debug it right now. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
