If you’re looking for the clean-up of the old gen in the jvm heap, it doesn’t happen. We have a new gen turning 15 times before its pushed to old gen. Seems all our data only has a TTL of 10 seconds – very little data is sent to the old gen.
Add in heap size of 8GB with a new gen size of 2GB, I don’t think gc is our issue. I’m more worried about error messages in the Cassandra log file that state. UnknownColumnFamilyException reading from socket; closing org.apache.cassandra.db.UnknownColumnFamilyException: Couldn't find cfId=cf411b50-6785-11e5-a435-e7be20c92086 and cassandra OutboundTcpConnection.java:313 - error writing to Connection. But I really need to understand this best practice that was mentioned (on number of CF’s) by Jack Krupansky. Anyone more information on this? Many thanks for all your help guys keep it coming ☺ Steve From: Ricardo Sancho [mailto:sancho.rica...@gmail.com] Sent: 01 October 2015 09:39 To: user@cassandra.apache.org Subject: RE: Consistency Issues Can you tell us how much time your gcs are taking?

Everyone seems hung up on this point? But it’s not the root causing of the inconsistency issue. Can anyone verify the best practice for number of CF’s?

Its only when we added another 25% of writes. As Jack said, you are probably pushing your GC over a threshold, leading to long pause times and inability to meet quorum. As Sebastian said, you probably shouldn't need a load balancer in front of Cassandra. =Rob This email (including any attachments) is proprietary to Aspect Software, Inc. and may contain information that is confidential.
