Summary: flood of "setting live ratio to maximum of 64" from repair Key: CASSANDRA-7467 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7467 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Jackson Chung we are on 2.0.8 running with repair -pr -local <KS>, all nodes on i2.2x (60G ram);, with setting 8G of heap. Using java 8. (key cache size is 1G) On occasion, when repair is run, the C* that run the repair, or another node in the cluster, or both, run into a bad state with the system.log just printing ""setting live ratio to maximum of 64" forever every split seconds. It usually happens when repairing one of the larger/wider CF. WARN [MemoryMeter:1] 2014-06-28 09:13:24,540 Memtable.java (line 470) setting live ratio to maximum of 64.0 instead of Infinity INFO [MemoryMeter:1] 2014-06-28 09:13:24,540 Memtable.java (line 481) CFS(Keyspace='RIQ', ColumnFamily='MemberTimeline') liveRatio is 64.0 (just-counted was 64.0). calculation took 0ms for 0 cells Table: MemberTimeline SSTable count: 13 Space used (live), bytes: 17644018786 ...

In less than 15 minutes, all the logs are filled up with just that log. C* is not responding, and can't be killed normally. Only way is to kill -9 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
