Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-7042: ------------------------------------- The default concurrent_compactors is most likely too high for machines with many CPUs and modest disk throughput. What disk layout do you have? > Disk space growth until restart > ------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-7042 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7042 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Environment: Ubuntu 12.04 > Sun Java 7 > Cassandra 2.0.6 > Reporter: Zach Aller > Attachments: Screen Shot 2014-04-17 at 11.07.24 AM.png, Screen Shot > 2014-04-18 at 11.47.30 AM.png, Screen Shot 2014-04-22 at 1.40.41 PM.png, > after.log, before.log, tabledump_after_restart.txt, > tabledump_before_restart.txt > > > Cassandra will constantly eat disk space not sure whats causing it the only > thing that seems to fix it is a restart of cassandra this happens about every > 3-5 hrs we will grow from about 350GB to 650GB with no end in site. Once we > restart cassandra it usually all clears itself up and disks return to normal > for a while then something triggers its and starts climbing again. Sometimes > when we restart compactions pending skyrocket and if we restart a second time > the compactions pending drop off back to a normal level. One other thing to > note is the space is not free'd until cassandra starts back up and not when > shutdown. > I will get a clean log of before and after restarting next time it happens > and post it. > Here is a common ERROR in our logs that might be related > {noformat} > ERROR [CompactionExecutor:46] 2014-04-15 09:12:51,040 CassandraDaemon.java > (line 196) Exception in thread Thread[CompactionExecutor:46,1,main] > java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: > /local-project/cassandra_data/data/wxgrid/grid/wxgrid-grid-jb-468677-Data.db > (No such file or directory) > at > org.apache.cassandra.io.util.ThrottledReader.open(ThrottledReader.java:53) > at > org.apache.cassandra.io.sstable.SSTableReader.openDataReader(SSTableReader.java:1355) > at > org.apache.cassandra.io.sstable.SSTableScanner.<init>(SSTableScanner.java:67) > at > org.apache.cassandra.io.sstable.SSTableReader.getScanner(SSTableReader.java:1161) > at > org.apache.cassandra.io.sstable.SSTableReader.getScanner(SSTableReader.java:1173) > at > org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.LeveledCompactionStrategy.getScanners(LeveledCompactionStrategy.java:194) > at > org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.AbstractCompactionStrategy.getScanners(AbstractCompactionStrategy.java:258) > at > org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.CompactionTask.runWith(CompactionTask.java:126) > at > org.apache.cassandra.io.util.DiskAwareRunnable.runMayThrow(DiskAwareRunnable.java:48) > at > org.apache.cassandra.utils.WrappedRunnable.run(WrappedRunnable.java:28) > at > org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.CompactionTask.executeInternal(CompactionTask.java:60) > at > org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.AbstractCompactionTask.execute(AbstractCompactionTask.java:59) > at > org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.CompactionManager$BackgroundCompactionTask.run(CompactionManager.java:197) > at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Unknown Source) > at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(Unknown Source) > at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(Unknown Source) > at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source) > at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) > Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: > /local-project/cassandra_data/data/wxgrid/grid/wxgrid-grid-jb-468677-Data.db > (No such file or directory) > at java.io.RandomAccessFile.open(Native Method) > at java.io.RandomAccessFile.<init>(Unknown Source) > at > org.apache.cassandra.io.util.RandomAccessReader.<init>(RandomAccessReader.java:58) > at > org.apache.cassandra.io.util.ThrottledReader.<init>(ThrottledReader.java:35) > at > org.apache.cassandra.io.util.ThrottledReader.open(ThrottledReader.java:49) > ... 17 more > {noformat} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
