Which is expected to cause GC failure? ;) But seriously, the reason your node is unable to GC is that you have filled your heap too fast for it to keep up. The JVM has seized up like Joe Namath with vapor lock. > Any ideas as to how I can speed up this up and reclaim the heap ? Don't exhaust the ability of GC to C G. :) =Rob PS - What version of cassandra? If you "nodetool -h localhost flush" does it help?
