Much more native memory used by Cassandra then the configured JVM heap size

Hi

We have some problem with Cassandra memory usage, we configure the JVM HEAP
6G, but after runing Cassandra for several hours (insert, update, delete).
The total memory used by Cassandra go up to 15G, which cause the OS low
memory.
 So I wonder if it is normal to have so many memory used by cassandra?

        And how to limit the native memory used by Cassandra?


===========================
Cassandra 1.0.3, 64 bit jdk.

Re: Much more native memory used by Cassandra then the configured JVM heap size

Posted by aaron morton <aa...@thelastpickle.com>.
> Low OS memory
Low OS memory is not the same as low JVM memory. Normally the JVM allocates and locks all the memory is needs at start up.

> impact by our configuration: memtable_flush_writers=32, memtable_flush_queue_size=12
increasing flush writers will impact on IO, increasing the queue size would only increase memory usage in extreme circumstances (i.e. when the io system cannot keep up)

> Caused by delete operation (The data in our traffic is dynamical, which means each request may be deleted in one hour, new will be inserted) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3741
Maybe. 
Some other people have talked about low JVM memory and the "Unable to reduce…" log message who were not doing a lot of deletes. 

> So we want to find out why the Cassandra down after 24 hours load test. (RCA of OOM)

I would reset all configuration to the default settings, including letting it pick the JVM heap size, and run your test. 

If you still see Java OOM, low JVM memory, or the "Unable to…" log message try setting the log config described here http://www.mail-archive.com/user@cassandra.apache.org/msg22850.html Then we can see if there is something stopping things flushing.

Re: Much more native memory used by Cassandra then the configured JVM heap size

Posted by Jason Tang <ar...@gmail.com>.
We suppose the cached memory will be released by OS, but from /proc/meminfo
, the cached memory is in "Active" status, so I am not sure if it will be
release by OS.

And for low memory, because we found "Unable to reduce heap usage since
there are no dirty column families" in system.log, and then Cassandra on
this node marked as "down".

And because we configure JVM heap 6G and memtable 1G, so I don't know why
we have OOMs error.
So we wonder the Cassandra down caused by

   1. Low OS memory
   2. impact by our configuration: memtable_flush_writers=32,
   memtable_flush_queue_size=12
   3. Caused by delete operation (The data in our traffic is dynamical,
   which means each request may be deleted in one hour, new will be inserted)
   https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3741

So we want to find out why the Cassandra down after 24 hours load test.
(RCA of OOM)

Posted by "Poziombka, Wade L" <wa...@intel.com>.
Here are pmaps  of this process at 3 different times... Memory keeps growing...

To me it looks like Cassandra never unmaps?

Seems like my only recourse is to remove jna.jar and just take the performance/swapping pain?

Obviously can't have the entire box lock up.  I can provide a pmap etc. if needed.

I have experienced the same issue.  The Java heap seems fine but eventually the OS runs out of heap.  In my case it renders the entire box unusable without a hard reboot.  Console shows:

is there a way to limit the native heap usage?

see http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/FAQ#mmap

which cause the OS low memory.
If the memory is used for mmapped access the os can get it back later.

Is the low free memory causing a problem ?

And seems we can have other strategy for data access to reduce mmap usage, in order to use less memory.

But I didn't find the document to describe the parameters for Cassandra 1.x, is it a good way to use this parameter to reduce shared memory usage and what's the impact? (btw, our data model is dynamical, which means the although the through put is high, but the life cycle of the data is short, one hour or less).

See my post, I limit the HVM heap 6G, but actually Cassandra will use more memory which is not calculated in JVM heap.

I use top to monitor total memory used by Cassandra.

Btw.  I suggest you spin up JConsole as it will give you much more detai kon what your VM is actually doing.

We have some problem with Cassandra memory usage, we configure the JVM HEAP 6G, but after runing Cassandra for several hours (insert, update, delete). The total memory used by Cassandra go up to 15G, which cause the OS low memory.

Re: Much more native memory used by Cassandra then the configured JVM heap size

Posted by Terje Marthinussen <tm...@gmail.com>.
We run some fairly large and busy Cassandra setups.
All of them without mmap.

I have yet to see a benchmark which conclusively can say mmap is better (or worse for that matter) than standard ways of doing I/O and we have done many of them last 2 years by different people, with different tools and with different HW.

My only conclusion is that not using mmap is easier to monitor and debug (you actually see what memory is used by Cassandra) and is more stable overall.

I highly recommend non-mmap setups

Terje

RE: Much more native memory used by Cassandra then the configured JVM heap size

Posted by "Poziombka, Wade L" <wa...@intel.com>.
Just to close this item: with CASSANDRA-4314 applied I see no memory errors (either Java heap or native heap).  Cassandra appears to be a hog with its memory mapped files.  This caused us to wrongly think it was the culprit in a severe native memory leak.  However, our leaky process was a different jsvc process altogether.



I wanted to make sure I set the record straight and not leave the idea out there that Cassandra may have a memory problem.

Seems like my only recourse is to remove jna.jar and just take the performance/swapping pain?

Obviously can't have the entire box lock up.  I can provide a pmap etc. if needed.

I have experienced the same issue.  The Java heap seems fine but eventually the OS runs out of heap.  In my case it renders the entire box unusable without a hard reboot.  Console shows:

is there a way to limit the native heap usage?

Subject: Re: Much more native memory used by Cassandra then the configured JVM heap size

see http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/FAQ#mmap

which cause the OS low memory.
If the memory is used for mmapped access the os can get it back later.

Is the low free memory causing a problem ?

Hi

I found some information of this issue
And seems we can have other strategy for data access to reduce mmap usage, in order to use less memory.

But I didn't find the document to describe the parameters for Cassandra 1.x, is it a good way to use this parameter to reduce shared memory usage and what's the impact? (btw, our data model is dynamical, which means the although the through put is high, but the life cycle of the data is short, one hour or less).

See my post, I limit the HVM heap 6G, but actually Cassandra will use more memory which is not calculated in JVM heap.

I use top to monitor total memory used by Cassandra.

Btw.  I suggest you spin up JConsole as it will give you much more detai kon what your VM is actually doing.

Hi

We have some problem with Cassandra memory usage, we configure the JVM HEAP 6G, but after runing Cassandra for several hours (insert, update, delete). The total memory used by Cassandra go up to 15G, which cause the OS low memory.
So I wonder if it is normal to have so many memory used by cassandra?

        And how to limit the native memory used by Cassandra?

RE: Much more native memory used by Cassandra then the configured JVM heap size

Posted by "Poziombka, Wade L" <wa...@intel.com>.
Seems like my only recourse is to remove jna.jar and just take the performance/swapping pain?

Obviously can't have the entire box lock up.  I can provide a pmap etc. if needed.

I have experienced the same issue.  The Java heap seems fine but eventually the OS runs out of heap.  In my case it renders the entire box unusable without a hard reboot.  Console shows:

is there a way to limit the native heap usage?

Subject: Re: Much more native memory used by Cassandra then the configured JVM heap size

see http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/FAQ#mmap

which cause the OS low memory.
If the memory is used for mmapped access the os can get it back later.

Is the low free memory causing a problem ?

Hi

I found some information of this issue
And seems we can have other strategy for data access to reduce mmap usage, in order to use less memory.

But I didn't find the document to describe the parameters for Cassandra 1.x, is it a good way to use this parameter to reduce shared memory usage and what's the impact? (btw, our data model is dynamical, which means the although the through put is high, but the life cycle of the data is short, one hour or less).

See my post, I limit the HVM heap 6G, but actually Cassandra will use more memory which is not calculated in JVM heap.

I use top to monitor total memory used by Cassandra.

-Xms6G -Xmx6G -Xmn1600M

Btw.  I suggest you spin up JConsole as it will give you much more detai kon what your VM is actually doing.

Hi

We have some problem with Cassandra memory usage, we configure the JVM HEAP 6G, but after runing Cassandra for several hours (insert, update, delete). The total memory used by Cassandra go up to 15G, which cause the OS low memory.
So I wonder if it is normal to have so many memory used by cassandra?

        And how to limit the native memory used by Cassandra?

Re: Much more native memory used by Cassandra then the configured JVM heap size

Posted by Al Tobey <al...@ooyala.com>.
Linux's default on busy IO boxes is to use all available memory for cache.
Try "echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" and see if your memory comes back
(this will drop vfs caches, and in my experience is safe, but YMMV).

If your memory comes back, everything is normal and you should leave it
alone.  It may block for a while if you have a lot of unflushed pages, this
is expected. Try setting /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio lower if you notice
around 20% of your memory is being consumed for "dirty" (written pages not
flushed to storage) memory. I usually run all of my systems at 5 or lower.
20 is too high for large memory servers IMO.

RE: Much more native memory used by Cassandra then the configured JVM heap size

Posted by "Poziombka, Wade L" <wa...@intel.com>.
actually, this is without jna.jar.  I will add and see if still have same issue

Seems like my only recourse is to remove jna.jar and just take the performance/swapping pain?

Obviously can't have the entire box lock up.  I can provide a pmap etc. if needed.

Subject: Re: Much more native memory used by Cassandra then the configured JVM heap size

see http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/FAQ#mmap

which cause the OS low memory.
If the memory is used for mmapped access the os can get it back later.

Is the low free memory causing a problem ?

Cheers

See my post, I limit the HVM heap 6G, but actually Cassandra will use more memory which is not calculated in JVM heap.

I use top to monitor total memory used by Cassandra.

Btw.  I suggest you spin up JConsole as it will give you much more detai kon what your VM is actually doing.

Re: Much more native memory used by Cassandra then the configured JVM heap size

Posted by aaron morton <aa...@thelastpickle.com>.
see http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/FAQ#mmap

> which cause the OS low memory.
If the memory is used for mmapped access the os can get it back later. 

Is the low free memory causing a problem ?

Cheers

Re: Much more native memory used by Cassandra then the configured JVM heap size

Posted by Jason Tang <ar...@gmail.com>.
Hi

I found some information of this issue
And seems we can have other strategy for data access to reduce mmap usage,
in order to use less memory.

But I didn't find the document to describe the parameters for Cassandra
1.x, is it a good way to use this parameter to reduce shared memory usage
and what's the impact? (btw, our data model is dynamical, which means the
although the through put is high, but the life cycle of the data is short,
one hour or less).

"
# Choices are auto, standard, mmap, and mmap_index_only.
disk_access_mode: auto
"

Re: Much more native memory used by Cassandra then the configured JVM heap size

Posted by Jason Tang <ar...@gmail.com>.
See my post, I limit the HVM heap 6G, but actually Cassandra will use more
memory which is not calculated in JVM heap.

I use top to monitor total memory used by Cassandra.

=============================
-Xms6G -Xmx6G -Xmn1600M

It's always darkest just before you are eaten by a grue.

Re: Much more native memory used by Cassandra then the configured JVM heap size

Posted by Jeffrey Kesselman <je...@gmail.com>.
What is your Native heap size?  And how are you measuring memory usage?
It woudl also hep to see the commandlien you are using to launch the JVM
