Cassandra error: Too large commit log size

Updated on March 11, 2021

This content applies only to On-premises and Client-managed cloud environments

Cassandra logs display the following error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Mutation of number-value bytes is too large for the maximum size of number-value.

Condition

When the Cassandra commit log takes up too much disk space, connection issues might occur. The following is an example of an error message for this issue: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Mutation of 33749684 bytes is too large for the maximum size of 33554432.

  • Review your application data model and segment the records into smaller units.
    For example: If your main data set contains 2,000 customer records, segment the data set into four smaller data sets of 500 customer records each.
  • As a temporary workaround for the error, in the prconfig.xml file, increase the maximum commit log size in megabytes by specifying the value of the commitlog_segment_size_in_mb property.
    The default maximum commit log size is 32 megabytes.

    For more information, see Changing node settings by modifying the prconfig.xml file.

    For example: <env name=“dnode/yaml/commitlog_segment_size_in_mb” value=“64”/>
    Increase the maximum commit log size only as a temporary workaround. Permanently increased record writes might have a negative impact on database performance, which can affect system performance.
