[jira] [Updated] (CASSANDRA-14855) Message Flusher scheduling fell off the event loop, resulting in out of memory

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14855?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Benedict updated CASSANDRA-14855:
---------------------------------
    Resolution: Fixed
        Status: Resolved  (was: Patch Available)

Committed as [fff6eec2903ee85f648535dd051c9bc72631f524|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/commit/fff6eec2903ee85f648535dd051c9bc72631f524] to 3.0 and merged upwards.

[~sumanth.pasupuleti]: On reflection, the parameter names should ideally remain the same for both 3.0 and 3.11, so I have reverted to the names in Michael's original patch.  I have simply changed the default value to {{true}} until trunk.

I also removed the text from the cassandra.yaml; not all options are listed in the yaml explicitly, and it's probably not worth including this until it's truly legacy (i.e. in 4.0).  Anybody can fill in the parameter without the prompt if they need it.

Let me know if you disagree with any of this, but wanted to not delay any further the commit.

> We recently had a production issue where about 10 nodes in a 96 node cluster ran out of heap. 
> From heap dump analysis, I believe there is enough evidence to indicate `queued` data member of the Flusher got too big, resulting in out of memory.
> Below are specifics on what we found from the heap dump (relevant screenshots attached):
> * non-empty "queued" data member of Flusher having retaining heap of 0.5GB, and multiple such instances.
> * "running" data member of Flusher having "true" value
> * Size of scheduledTasks on the eventloop was 0.
> We suspect something (maybe an exception) caused the Flusher running state to continue to be true, but was not able to schedule itself with the event loop.
> Could not find any ERROR in the system.log, except for following INFO logs around the incident time.

> I would like to pursue the following proposals to fix this issue:
> # ImmediateFlusher: Backport trunk's ImmediateFlusher ( [CASSANDRA-13651|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13651] https://github.com/apache/cassandra/commit/96ef514917e5a4829dbe864104dbc08a7d0e0cec)  to 3.0.x and maybe to other versions as well, since ImmediateFlusher seems to be more robust than the existing Flusher as it does not depend on any running state/scheduling.
> # Make "queued" data member of the Flusher bounded to avoid any potential of causing out of memory due to otherwise unbounded nature.
