Sean, This could be anything from hardware to a leveldb block size problem to a single bad .sst file causing an infinite loop.
Standard questions: - would you send in a copy of the app.config file? - would you describe the hardware characteristics of your node? - would you describe roughly the size of your keys and the size of the data/values you write? - would you email or post for download a copy of your leveldb LOG files (tar -xzf LOGs.tgz /var/lib/riak/leveldb/*/LOG) - would you run du -hs /var/lib/riak/leveldb/* and email the results. At the moment, I am voting .sst problem. The LOG files will prove / disprove that immediately. You could run riak repair on each vnode as an attempted fix if you do not want to wait for my reply. The block size problem only occurs once you get a large dataset … and I do not have a threshold of "large" to give you without seeing app.config and "du" results. A discussion of this problem is here: https://github.com/basho/leveldb/wiki/mv-dynamic-block-size A hardware problem is unlikely, but the LOG files would carry clues.
