Quentin Conner commented on CASSANDRA-6127: ------------------------------------------- Yes, both use case 1 and use case 2 (detailed in early comment above) were cured by patch #3. Zero flaps were recorded in multiple trials in both use cases. Patch #3 cures the flaps, but does not address the cpu usage symptom. This was tested against the cassandra-1.2 branch. I am conducting the same test today against use case 2 today, but using the current cassandra-2.0 branch of source. > vnodes don't scale to hundreds of nodes > --------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-6127 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6127 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core > Environment: Any cluster that has vnodes and consists of hundreds of > physical nodes. > Reporter: Tupshin Harper > Assignee: Jonathan Ellis > Attachments: 2013-11-05_18-04-03_no_compression_cpu_time.png, > 2013-11-05_18-09-38_compression_on_cpu_time.png, 6000vnodes.patch, > AdjustableGossipPeriod.patch, cpu-vs-token-graph.png, > delayEstimatorUntilStatisticallyValid.patch, flaps-vs-tokens.png > > > There are a lot of gossip-related issues related to very wide clusters that > also have vnodes enabled. Let's use this ticket as a master in case there are > sub-tickets. > The most obvious symptom I've seen is with 1000 nodes in EC2 with m1.xlarge > instances. Each node configured with 32 vnodes. > Without vnodes, cluster spins up fine and is ready to handle requests within > 30 minutes or less. > With vnodes, nodes are reporting constant up/down flapping messages with no > external load on the cluster. After a couple of hours, they were still > flapping, had very high cpu load, and the cluster never looked like it was > going to stabilize or be useful for traffic. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
