[jira] [Created] (CASSANDRA-9291) Too many tombstones in schema_columns from creating too many CFs

Luis Correia created CASSANDRA-9291:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Too many tombstones in schema_columns from creating too many CFs
                 Key: CASSANDRA-9291
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9291
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
         Environment: Production Cluster with 2 DCs of 3 nodes each and 1 DC of 7 nodes, running on dedicated Xeon hexacore, 96GB ram, RAID for Data and SSF for commitlog, running Debian 7 (with Java 1.7.0_76-b13 64-Bit, 8GB and 16GB of heap tested).

Dev Cluster with 1 DC with 3 nodes and 1 DC with 1 node, running on virtualized env., Ubuntu 12.04.5 (with Java 1.7.0_72-b14 64-Bit 1GB, 4GB heap) 
            Reporter: Luis Correia
            Priority: Blocker
         Attachments: after_schema.txt, before_schema.txt, schemas500.cql

When creating lots of columnfamilies (about 200) the system.schema_columns gets filled with tombstones and therefore prevents clients using the binary protocol of connecting.

Clients already connected continue normal operation (reading and inserting).

Log messages are:

For the first tries (sorry for the lack of precision):
ERROR [main] 2015-04-22 00:01:38,527 SliceQueryFilter.java (line 200) Scanned over 100000 tombstones in system.schema_columns; query aborted (see tombstone_failure_threshold)

For each client that tries to connect but fails with timeout:

This happens independently of values in:
tombstone_warn_threshold, tombstone_failure_threshold

Thrift doesn't seem to be vulnerable to this, as cqlsh connects every time.

Binary protocol tested with Java (and Clojure), Python, C++ all fail to connect.


Included in attachment are a cql script to replicate (with 500 CFs) and a sstablemetadata output of a system.schema_columns sstable before (clean cluster) and after importing the schema.
