[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-11724) False Failure Detection in Big Cassandra Cluster

["Sylvain Lebresne (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11724?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15274240#comment-15274240 ] 

Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-11724:
----------------------------------------------

bq. that instance-1 has not received any heartbeat after some time from instance-2 because the instance-2 run a long computation process

That certainly explains what happens but we need to know what the "long computation process" is if we want to improve it. Would you be able to get some stack dump or wire up some profiling to tell us what it is since you seem to have all the testing set up?

> We are running some testing on Cassandra v2.2.5 stable in a big cluster. The setting in our testing is that each machine has 16-cores and runs 8 cassandra instances, and our testing is 32, 64, 128, 256, and 512 instances of Cassandra. We use the default number of vnodes for each instance which is 256. The data and log directories are on in-memory tmpfs file system.
> We run several types of workloads on this Cassandra cluster:
> Workload1: Just start the cluster
> Workload2: Start half of the cluster, wait until it gets into a stable condition, and run another half of the cluster
> Workload3: Start half of the cluster, wait until it gets into a stable condition, load some data, and run another half of the cluster
> Workload4: Start the cluster, wait until it gets into a stable condition, load some data and decommission one node
> For this testing, we measure the total numbers of false failure detection inside the cluster. By false failure detection, we mean that, for example, instance-1 marks the instance-2 down, but the instance-2 is not down. We dig deeper into the root cause and find out that instance-1 has not received any heartbeat after some time from instance-2 because the instance-2 run a long computation process.
> Here I attach the graphs of each workload result.
