@sridhar.addanki_188870 We need a bit more info in order to diagnose the problem. Please edit your original question to include:

  • the full stack trace of the error message
  • 4-5 lines of the log immediately before the error
  • version of DSE on the node

The stack trace you posted error indicates a problem reading a file so it's possible that you have a filesystem corruption. You will need to escalate the issue to your sysadmin team since they will need to investigate a possible disk corruption or failure. Cheers!

@sridhar.addanki_188870 I've converted your answer into a comment since it's not an answer. I also requested you to edit your question since it would've been too long to paste the log entries into a comment. Cheers!
