> Cassandra uses 100% system CPU on Ubuntu Natty (11.04)
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-2845
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2845
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 0.8.0
> Environment: Default install of Ubuntu 11.04
> Reporter: Steve Corona
> Assignee: paul cannon
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 0.8.2
>
>
> Step 1. Boot up a brand new, default Ubuntu 11.04 Server install
> Step 2. Install Cassandra from Apache APT Respository (deb http://www.apache.org/dist/cassandra/debian 08x main)
> Step 3. apt-get install cassandra, as soon as it cassandra starts it will freeze the machine
> What's happening is that as soon as cassandra starts up it immediately sucks up 100% of CPU and starves the machine. This effectively bricks the box until you boot into single user mode and disable the cassandra init.d script.
> Under htop, the CPU usage shows up as "system" cpu, not user.
> The machine I'm testing this on is a Quad-Core Sandy Bridge w/ 16GB of Memory, so it's not a system resource issue. I've also tested this on completely different hardware (Dual 64-Bit Xeons & AMD X4) and it has the same effect.
> Ubuntu 10.10 does not exhibit the same issue. I have only tested 0.8 and 0.8.1.
