Bootstrap failure

Hi all,

    We have been struggling with the inability to bootstrap nodes into our 1.2.13 environment with Vnodes using centos 6.4 with Java 7.  We have an 8 node cluster (32 GB RAM, dual hex core, SSDs, 8 GB heap with 1200 MB eden space, RF3) with around 1 TB per node using murmur3.   When we go to bootstrap a new node this is what we see:

 *   Bootstrapping node assigns tokens and requests data from cluster
 *   5-6 nodes within the cluster begin to stream data
 *   Around 2 minutes after bootstrap start, between 1 and 4 nodes (sometimes the bootstrapping node and sometimes not) become unresponsive in par new GCs
 *   IF no nodes go down during the first 5 minutes of bootstrap, then the bootstrap will succeed without issue
 *   GC mired nodes tend to recover after a minute or two but the receiving node stops attempting to get more data from the nodes
 *   Bootstrap eventually fails (after streaming all the data from nodes that did not go down) with Unable to Fetch Ranges

We have tried the following and it appears that sometimes a bootstrap will succeed (perhaps 1 in 10) but with no discernible pattern:

 *   Increase phi_convict to 16
 *   Restart all nodes prior to bootstrap (to ensure heap is as “clean” as possible)
 *   Stop production load against the cluster (to reduce par new churn); after 5 minutes we know if the bootstrap will succeed so we then re-enable load
 *   Distribute soft interrupts across all CPUs

Below is an output from the GC log of the bootstrapping node when it was stuck in GC.

Has anyone seen this before?  This is our production cluster and our inability to grow is a BLOCKING issue for us.  Any ideas would be VERY helpful.

Thanks

Re: Bootstrap failure

Posted by Keith Wright <kw...@nanigans.com>.
I did find a stop the world GC on one of the non-bootstrapping nodes during one of our previous bootstrap failures (see below) as well as the flags being passed to the java process.  Perhaps this is just a GC tuning issue?

>From what I’ve read, bootstrap is supposed to be a light weight operation.  Any idea what Cassandra is doing at this time that would cause such GC pressure?  During normal operations, the settings we have now appear to be working fine.  Any recommendations on tuning changes?
