Hi, our cassandra node using java 7 update 72 and we ran jstat on one of the node, and notice some strange behaviour as indicated by output below. any idea why when eden space stay the same for few seconds like 100% and 18.02% for few seconds? we suspect such "stalling" cause timeout to our cluster.
any idea what happened, what went wrong and what could cause this? $ jstat -gcutil 32276 1s 0.00 5.78 91.21 70.94 60.07 2657 73.437 4 0.056 73.493 0.00 5.78 100.00 70.94 60.07 2657 73.437 4 0.056
