Hi,  
Our ES installation has been running stable so far, except since yesterday  
we are getting these failures sporadically. You can see a snippet of error  
log here: [https://gist.github.com/3150299](https://gist.github.com/3150299)  
Could it be JVM issue? Following is the output of `java -version`:  
java version "1.6.0\_20"  
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.13) (6b20-1.9.13-0ubuntu1~10.04.1)  
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode)

Any suggestions?

Cheers  
Nitish

No. You're passing it bad data.

Hi Clinton,  
That could be one of the reasons. But, for us, usually these kind of errors  
are accompanied by:  
[monitor.jvm] [node1] [gc][ParNew][31993][57678] duration  
[1.5s], collections [1]/[1.7s], total [1.5s]/[29.6m], memory  
[3.8gb]-\>[3.7gb]/[15.9gb], all\_pools {[Code Cache]  
[10.2mb]-\>[10.2mb]/[48mb]}{[Par Eden Space] [18.6mb]-\>[1mb]/[133.1mb]}{[Par  
Survivor Space] [3.5mb]-\>[3.5mb]/[16.6mb]}{[CMS Old Gen]  
[3.7gb]-\>[3.7gb]/[15.8gb]}{[CMS Perm Gen] [47.9mb]-\>[47.9mb]/[166mb]}

Any thoughts?

Cheers

That's not an error. That's just logging garbage collection
