Very good questions.

We have reads and writes at LOCAL_ONE.
There are 2 application (1 for each DC) who read and write at the same rate to 
their local DC
(All reads / writes started all perfectly even and degraded over time)

We use DCAwareRoundRobin policy

On update on the nodetool cleanup – it has help but hasn’t balanced all nodes. 
Node 1 on DC2 is still quite high

Node 1 (DC1)  =  1.35k    (seeder)
Node 2 (DC1)  =  1.54k
Node 3 (DC1)  =  1.45k

Node 1 (DC2)  =  2.06k   (seeder)
Node 2 (DC2)  =  1.38k
Node 3 (DC2)  =  1.43k

Which Consistency level do you use for reads ? ONE ? Are you reading from only 
DC1 or from both DC ?
What is the LoadBalancingStrategy you have configured for your driver ? 
TokenAware wrapped on DCAwareRoundRobin ?

Hey all,

Thanks for taking the time to help.

So we have 6 cassandra nodes in 2 Data Centers.
Both Data Centers have a replication of 3 – so all nodes have all the data.

Over the last 2 days we’ve noticed that data reads / writes has shifted from 
balanced to unbalanced
(Nodetool status still shows 100% ownership on every node, with similar sizes)


For Example

We monitor the number of reads / writes of every table via the cassandra JMX 
metrics. (cassandra.db.read_count)
Over the last hour of this run

Reads
Node 1 (DC1)  =  1.79k    (seeder)
Node 2 (DC1)  =  1.92k
Node 3 (DC1)  =  1.97k

Node 1 (DC2)  =  2.90k   (seeder)
Node 2 (DC2)  =  1.76k
Node 3 (DC2)  =  1.19k

As you see on DC1, everything is pretty well balanced, but on DC2 the reads 
favour Node1 over Node 3.
I ran a nodetool repair yesterday – ran for 6 hours and when completed didn’t 
change the read balance.

Write levels are similar on  DC2, but not as bad a reads.

Anyone any suggestion on how to rebalance? I’m thinking maybe running a 
nodetool cleanup in case some of the keys have shifted?
