Description

Hi, we are running 6 node Cassandra cluster in production with 3 seed node but from last night one of our seed nodes is continuously throwing an error like this;-

cassandra.protocol.ServerError: <Error from server: code=0000 [Server error] message="java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to compute ceiling for max when histogram overflowed">

For a cluster to be up and running I Drained this node.

Can somebody help me out with this?

 

Any help or lead would be appreciated 

 

Note : We are using Cassandra version 3.7
