9.8. Scaling the Cassandra Storage Node for JBoss ON server
Important
Regardless of the load or demand on a JBoss ON installation, the JBoss ON server will go into maintenance mode while:
- the storage node processes a backlog of storage requests (during times of peak demand),
- transfers data from memory to disk, or
- performs data aggregation or compaction.
In most instances, the system is designed to recover without interruption. However, as the demand or load on a system increases, the length of these outages will also increase. Once the length of these outages begins to interrupt operations, additional storage nodes should be installed to distribute the load. Additional storage nodes are also required when the storage node has insufficient storage space. For details on installing additional storage nodes, see Section 9.2.4, “Installing Additional Nodes”.
Scaling the Cassandra-based JBoss ON Storage Node helps improve performance and reliability, including improving the capacity of the storage node to respond to metric read and write requests. There are several ways the storage node can be scaled. These are:
- Increase the available memory in the JBoss ON Storage Node's JVM by increasing the heap_max and heap_new properties in
RHQ_SERVER_HOME/rhq-storage/conf/cassandra-jvm.properties. For example:heap_max=-Xmx1024M heap_new=-Xmn384M
heap_max=-Xmx1024M heap_new=-Xmn384MCopy to Clipboard Copied!

RHQ_SERVER_HOME/rhq-storage/conf/cassandra-jvm.properties. For example:max_tenuring_threshold="-XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=4"
max_tenuring_threshold="-XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=4"Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow WarningIf the max tenuring threshold of the JVM exceeds 15, the JVM garbage collection does not function correctly. - Add additional JBoss ON Storage Nodes to the storage cluster to distribute processing across multiple machines and disks as described in Section 9.2.4, “Installing Additional Nodes”.
- Relocate the
rhq-datadirectory of the JBoss ON Storage Node to a dedicated disk to improve performance. - Move the JBoss ON Storage Node's
rhq-dataandcommit_logdirectories to dedicated physical disks. - Increase the write timeout value by setting the write_request_timeout_in_ms property in
RHQ_SERVER_HOME/rhq-storage/conf/cassandra.yaml. For example:write_request_timeout_in_ms: 40000
write_request_timeout_in_ms: 40000Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow NoteIncreasing the timeout for write operations is not recommended.
