We do not have any scheduled, periodic node restarts. I have been working on Cassandra across many versions, and I have not seen a case where periodic restarts would solve any problem that I saw.
There are certainly times when a node needs a restart – but those are because of specific reasons.

I've got a really heavy data model, but no GC problems. Moreover, gclog shows very efficient GC process and hardly any GC pauses. So, the question remains open: how general is the practice of semi-periodical C* node restarts?

Rebooting wouldn’t solve those issues. -- Rahul Singh rahul.si...@anant.us<mailto:rahul.si...@anant.us> Anant Corporation On Jul 17, 2018, 7:28 AM -0400, Simon Fontana Oscarsson <simon.fontana.oscars...@ericsson.com<mailto:simon.fontana.oscars...@ericsson.com>>, wrote: Not anything that I'm aware of.

I.e., does regular Cassandra node reboots help anything? Are periodical node reboots recommended for general system stability?
