Re: Incompatible Gossip 1.1.6 to 1.2.1 Upgrade?

2013-04-02 Thread Arya Goudarzi
Aaron, I added -Dcassandra.load_ring_state=false in the cassandra-env.sh and did a rolling restart With one node in 1.2.3 version and 11 other nodes in 1.1.10, the 1.1.10 nodes saw 1.2.3 node but now the gossip on 1.2.3 only sees itself. Cheers, -Arya On Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 1:02 PM, Arya Gouda

Cassandra 1.0.10 to 1.2.3 upgrade "post-mortem"

2013-04-02 Thread Rustam Aliyev
Hi, I just wanted to share our experience of upgrading 1.0.10 to 1.2.3. It happened that first we upgraded both of our two seeds to 1.2.3. And basically after that old nodes couldn't communicate with new ones anymore. Cluster was down until we upgraded all nodes to 1.2.3. We don't have many n

Re: how to stop out of control compactions?

I just tried to use this setting (I'm using 1.1.9). And it appears I can't set min > 32, as that's the max max now (using nodetool at least). Not sure if JMX would allow more access, but I don't like bypassing things I don't fully understand. I think I'll just leave my compaction killers running

Edward, you make a good point, and I do think am getting closer to having to increase my cluster size (I'm around ~300GB/node now). In my case, I think it was neither. I had one node OOM after working on a large compaction but it continued to run in a zombie like state (constantly GC'ing), which

2013-04-02 Thread Edward Capriolo
Settings do not make compactions go away. If your compactions are "out of control" it usually means one of these things, 1) you have a corrupt table that the compaction never finishes on, sstables count keep growing 2) you do not have enough hardware to handle your write load On Tue, Apr 2, 2013

Hi Aaron, I will try to slow down the compaction. Since this is our DEV environment the core problem remains as we just have 2 cores. I will get back in case I see any different situation. Thank you for your inputs. Thanks, Jay On Sun, Mar 31, 2013 at 5:35 AM, aaron morton wrote: > > How thi

Hi, Aaron! We were using 1.2.2. Now after your suggestion I've upgraded it to 1.2.3. That *CorruptSSTableException* is now gone, but the problem is still here - after some time we start getting another exception in cassandra logs (and transport exception on the client side). The new exception is *

Oh, JBOD, not JBOB. no, we were using RAID 5 and RAID 6 from what I understand. I am trying to get a test run with just one disk to make sure the test is correct as one disk should have much less performance than 20 in the case of random access. In sequential, I think performance would be the

Thanks for reply, Aaron. Unluckily, I think it's not the case - we did some quick tests last week and for now it _seems_ that: 1) There was no empty / zero-lenght key in data we loaded - that was the first thing we checked 2) By "bisecting" the data, we found out that the row that makes the pr
