Eric Newton commented on ACCUMULO-2014:
---------------------------------------

Can you look at recent traces and see what was being traced?

> Under the right conditions the tracer table can get into a feedback loop where messages about flushes to a tracer table tablet keep arriving and triggering subsequent flush operations.
> This was observed on a 1.4.3 cluster initially configured for 256MB in-memory maps.
> This manifests as a high rate of ingest to the tracer table, even in the absence of client activity or any client created tables. i.e. on a 3  worker node cluster with no external activity 500 entries/second into the tracer table.
> Viewing the tserver logs:
> {noformat}
> tserver.log (less AUDIT):
> $ tail -50 tserver-3-example.com.log | grep -v AUDIT

> note that this example relies on the default configuration, using "root" as the user for the tracer role. If your tracer user is set to something else, that is the user that would show up in the credential checks above.
> Current work around is to increase the memory map size.
> We should attempt to detect this situation and at least issue a clear log message. It would be nicer if we could detect it and turn off tracing messages related to the tracing table.
