Cassandra nodes loaded unequally

[Ben Kaehne <be...@sirca.org.au>]

Good morning,

I am running a simple 3 node cluster.
Each node is relatively powerful. (16 core, lots of ram, good disk etc).
All machines are identical.
Token ranges are all equal (generated with the python script on datastax
website)

Although under heavy load I can see the "unix load" be rather uneven
between the machines. (ie one machine may be 1/5th of the load of the
others.... double digits vs single digits).

Where would you recommend me to start tracking this down?

Regards,
