error stack was containing 2 threads for the same key, stalling on digest query The below bytes which I referred is the actual value of "_body" variable in org.apache.cassandra.net.Message object got from the heap dump. As I understand from the code, ReadVerbHandler will deserialize this "_body" variable into a SliceByNamesReadCommand object. When I manually inspected this byte array, it seems hold all details correctly, except the super-column name, causing it to fetch the entire wide row. -- Ravi On Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 8:36 AM, aaron morton <aa...@thelastpickle.com>wrote: > We started receiving OOMs in our cassandra grid and took a heap dump > > What are the JVM settings ? > What was the error stack? > > I am pasting the serialized byte array of SliceByNamesReadCommand, which > seems to be corrupt on issuing certain digest queries. > > Sorry I don't follow what you are saying here. > Can you can you enable DEBUG logging and identify the behaviour you think > is incorrect ? > > Cheers > > ----------------- > Aaron Morton > Freelance Cassandra Consultant > New Zealand > > @aaronmorton > http://www.thelastpickle.com > > On 28/03/2013, at 4:15 AM, Ravikumar Govindarajan < > ravikumar.govindara...@gmail.com> wrote: > > We started receiving OOMs in our cassandra grid and took a heap dump.
