Node crashes with "map failed" error

@sparikh71_28533 The symptoms you describe indicate the nodes are overloaded leading to OOM. Try throttling back the ingestion to a throughput that the cluster can handle. If you provide the version of DSE running on the nodes and amount of memory allocated to the heap, we can give you additional recommendations. Cheers!

Thanks so much @Erick Ramirez for your response. We are running apache cassandra version 3.0.18.

We have allocated 38G to heap and concurrent_compactors at 8. At one time we had it 24 and had to gradually decrease it to 8 because the nodes were crashing so frequently.

Our team's concern is compactions are going at very slow rate. Also the next step we need to is to change the RF from 1 to 3. Until and unless both of these steps are finished we can not make this cluster to go live and accept user traffic.

Do you recommend increasing the RAM followed by heap and will help? Please let me know if I can provide any additional information.

Thanks again.
