[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-6127) vnodes don't scale to hundreds of nodes

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6127?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13811823#comment-13811823 ] 

Quentin Conner commented on CASSANDRA-6127:
-------------------------------------------

Monday (11/4) I will be start getting the CPU profiling captured with a 256 or 512 node cluster.  Plan is to capture with internode compression and without.
I was able to get semi-reproduction this week in a 256 node cluster -- one node had twice the cpu utilization of the others (20% user versus 10% user).  But I had too much logging enabled and that skewed results.

>          Components: Core
>         Environment: Any cluster that has vnodes and consists of hundreds of physical nodes.

> There are a lot of gossip-related issues related to very wide clusters that also have vnodes enabled. Let's use this ticket as a master in case there are sub-tickets.
> The most obvious symptom I've seen is with 1000 nodes in EC2 with m1.xlarge instances. Each node configured with 32 vnodes.
> Without vnodes, cluster spins up fine and is ready to handle requests within 30 minutes or less. 
> With vnodes, nodes are reporting constant up/down flapping messages with no external load on the cluster. After a couple of hours, they were still flapping, had very high cpu load, and the cluster never looked like it was going to stabilize or be useful for traffic.
