Hello there, We have a 100 nodes ish cluster, I find that there are dropped messages on random nodes in the cluster, which caused error spikes and P99 latency spikes as well.
I tried to figure out the cause. I do not see any obvious bottleneck in the cluster, the C* nodes still have plenty of cpu idle/disk io. But I do see some suspicious gossip events around that time, not sure if it's related. 2017-01-21_16:43:56.71033 WARN 16:43:56 [GossipTasks:1]: Not marking nodes down due to local pause of 13079498815 > 5000000000 2017-01-21_16:43:56.85532 INFO 16:43:56 [ScheduledTasks:1]: MUTATION messages were dropped in last 5000 ms: 65 for internal timeout and 10895 for cross node timeout 2017-01-21_16:43:56.85533 INFO 16:43:56 [ScheduledTasks:1]: READ messages were dropped in last 5000 ms: 33 for internal timeout and 7867 for cross node timeout 2017-01-21_16:43:56.85534 INFO 16:43:56 [ScheduledTasks:1]: Pool Name Active Pending Completed Blocked All Time Blocked 2017-01-21_16:43:56.85534 INFO 16:43:56 [ScheduledTasks:1]: MutationStage 128 47794 1015525068 0 0 2017-01-21_16:43:56.85535 2017-01-21_16:43:56.85535 INFO 16:43:56 [ScheduledTasks:1]: ReadStage 64 20202 450508940 0 0 Any suggestions?
