-----------------------------------------------
[~iamaleksey]: Thanks!

Apparently yes, it is - when the CF has no cells in it, no range tombstones,
and isn't top-level marked for deletion.
{quote}
That is what I got from the code too :-)

I have NO idea where that CF originated from, and don't even know where to
start looking. If you find out - let us know.

I also was not able to figure this out. If I do, I will let you know.

> Hi,
> I was describing an error the other day on the mailing list, where the
> MemoryMeter would go into an endless loop. This happened multiple times last
> week, unfortunetaly I cannot reproduce it at the moment.
> The whole cassandra server got unresponsive and logged about 7000k messages
> per second into the log:
> {quote}
> ...
> INFO [MemoryMeter:1] 2014-06-14 19:24:09,488 Memtable.java (line 481)
> CFS(Keyspace='MDS', ColumnFamily='ResponsePortal') liveRatio is 64.0
> (just-counted was 64.0). calculation took 0ms for 0 cells
> ...
> {quote}
> The cause for this seems to be Memtable.maybeUpdateLiveRatio(), which cannot
> handle currentOperations (and liveRatioComputedAt) to be zero. The loop will
> iterate endlessly:
> {code}
> ...
> if (operations < 2 * last) // does never break when zero: 0 < 0
> is not true
> break;
> ...
> {code}
> One thing I cannot explain: How can the operationcount be zero when
> maybeUpdateLiveRatio() gets called?
> is it possible that addAndGet in resolve() increases by 0 in some cases?
> {code}
> currentOperations.addAndGet(cf.getColumnCount() + (cf.isMarkedForDelete() ? 1
> : 0) + cf.deletionInfo().rangeCount()); // can this be zero?
> {code}
> Nevertheless, the attached patch fixes the endless loop. Feel free to
> reassign this ticket or create a followup ticket if currentOperations should
> not be zero.
> kind regards,
> Christian
