[jira] [Created] (CASSANDRA-6255) Exception count not incremented on OutOfMemoryError (HSHA)

Dan Hendry created CASSANDRA-6255:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Exception count not incremented on OutOfMemoryError (HSHA)
                 Key: CASSANDRA-6255
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6255
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
         Environment: Oracle java version "1.7.0_15"

rpc_server_type: hsha
            Reporter: Dan Hendry


One of our nodes decided to stop listening on 9160 (netstat -l was showing nothing and telnet was reporting connection refused). Nodetool status showed no hosts down and on the offending node nodetool info gave the following:

{noformat}
nodetool info
Token            : (invoke with -T/--tokens to see all 256 tokens)
ID               : (removed)

Native Transport active: false
Load             : 2.05 TB
Generation No    : 1382536528
Uptime (seconds) : 432970
Heap Memory (MB) : 8098.05 / 14131.25
Data Center      : DC1
Rack             : RAC2
Exceptions       : 0

Row Cache        : size 0 (bytes), capacity 0 (bytes), 0 hits, 0 requests, NaN recent hit rate, 0 save period in seconds
{noformat}

After looking at the cassandra log, I saw a bunch of the following:

{noformat}

{noformat}

There wasn't anything else overtly suspicious in the logs except for the occasional 
{noformat}
ERROR [Selector-Thread-0] 2013-10-27 17:35:58,662 TNonblockingServer.java (line 468) Read an invalid frame size of 0. Are you using TFramedTransport on the client side?
{noformat}
but  that periodically comes up - I have looked into it before but it has never seemed to have any serious impact.

This ticket is not about *why* an OutOfMemoryError occurred - which is bad but I don't think I have enough information to reproduce or speculate on a cause. This ticket is about the fact that an OutOfMemoryError occurred and nodetool info was reporting Thrift active : true and Exceptions : 0. 

Our monitoring systems and investigation processes are both starting to rely on on the exception count. The fact that it was not accurate here is disconcerting.
