"What version of cassandra are you using ?"

1.1.2

"Can you explain this further?"

I had an unexplained amount of reads (up to 1800 r/s and 90 Mo/s) on one
server the other was doing about 200 r/s and 5 Mo/s max. I fixed it by
rebooting the server. This server is dedicated to cassandra. I can't tell
you more about it 'cause I don't get it... But a simple Cassandra restart
wasn't enough.

"Was something writing to the cluster ?"

Yes we are having some activity and perform about 600 w/s.

"Did you drain for the upgrade ?"

We upgrade a long time ago and to 1.1.2. This warning is about the version
1.1.6.

"What changes did you make ?"

In the cassandra.yaml I just change the "compaction_throughput_mb_per_sec"
property to slow down my compaction a bit. I don't think the problem come
from here.

"Are you saying that a particular counter column is giving different values
for different reads ?"

Yes, this is exactly what I was saying. Sorry if something is wrong with my
English, it's not my mother tongue.

"What CL are you using ?"

I think this can be what causes the issue. I'm writing and reading at CL
ONE. I didn't drain before stopping Cassandra and this may have produce a
fail in the current counters (those which were being written when I stopped
a server).

But isn't Cassandra suppose to handle a server crash ? When a server
crashes I guess it don't drain before...

Thank you for your time Aaron, once again.

Alain
