-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Unbounded (?) thread growth connecting to an removed node
                 Key: CASSANDRA-5175
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5175
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 1.1.8
         Environment: EC2, JDK 7u9, Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
            Reporter: Janne Jalkanen
            Priority: Minor


The following lines started repeating every minute in the log file

{noformat}
 INFO [GossipStage:1] 2013-01-19 19:35:43,929 Gossiper.java (line 831) InetAddress /10.238.x.y is now dead.

Also, I got about 3000 threads which all look like this:

{noformat}

A new thread seems to be created every minute, and they never go away.

The endpoint in question had been a part of the cluster weeks ago, and the node exhibiting the thread growth was added yesterday.

Anyway, assassinating the endpoint in question stopped thread growth (but kept the existing threads running), so this isn't a huge issue.  But I don't think the thread count is supposed to be increasing like this...
