[jira] [Created] (CASSANDRA-8409) Node generating a huge number of tiny sstable_activity flushes

Fred Wulff created CASSANDRA-8409:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Node generating a huge number of tiny sstable_activity flushes
                 Key: CASSANDRA-8409
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8409
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
         Environment: Cassandra 2.1.0, Oracle JDK 1.8.0_25, Ubuntu 12.04
            Reporter: Fred Wulff
         Attachments: system-sstable_activity-ka-67802-Data.db

On one of my nodes, I’m seeing hundreds per second of “INFO  21:28:05 Enqueuing flush of sstable_activity: 0 (0%) on-heap, 33 (0%) off-heap”. tpstats shows a steadily climbing # of pending MemtableFlushWriter/MemtablePostFlush until the node OOMs. When the flushes actually happen the sstable written is invariably 121 bytes. I’m writing pretty aggressively to one of my user tables (sev.mdb_group_pit), but that table's flushing behavior seems reasonable.

I've attached one of the produced sstables.
