Pending tasks are not being processed.

2014-09-04 Thread Pavel Kogan
Hi all,

Yesterday I put a lot of blobs into Cassandra and it created many, probably
compaction, pending tasks (few hundreds according to Ops Center). On all
nodes all pending tasks were eventually processed, but on one problematic,
I see no related activity. Problematic node seems to be responsive and no
errors in logs. What can be the reason?

Cassandra ver: multiple versions on 14 nodes (2.0.8 and 2.0.9)
OpsCenter ver: 4.1.2
Compaction type: leveled (we had capacity issues with size-tiered).

To process pending task as fast as possible, I temporary
changed compaction_throughput_mb_per_sec to 0 on this specific node. It
helps, but only when compaction running, and currently pending tasks are
not being processed.

Thanks,
  Pavel

Running for extended periods of time with split versions is Not Supported.

That said, perhaps you are running into...

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7145
or
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7808

?

Should I experience any problems even if split versions vary only by minor
digit?

After another restart of node, it seems that the problem was solved somehow.

Regards,

My statement states what it states, no more and no less. It is Not
Supported to run with split minor version, single digit increment or not,
for longer than an upgrade takes.

Fixed forever!
