I was under the impression that HidServDirectoryV2 was an obsolete config option. I run 0.2.9.11

Your message prompted me to check logs, and on one relay I see the following:
Similar thing for me:

Also there are too much "[warn] assign_to_cpuworker failed. Ignoring." lines in the logs.
This sort of thing has been going on for many years. I used to referto it as "mobbing". As nearly as I was ever able to determine, the behavior is an unintended consequence of hidden services. I found that I could greatly reduce the frequency of occurrence, but *not* to zero, by setting
HidServDirectoryV2 0
in my torrc file. My tentative conclusion was that the majority of these events are cases in which a relay has been selected as an HSDir to which a hidden service descriptor has been posted for a very popular hidden service, so by refusing to be a hidden service directory mirror, those cases can be eliminated. I never had a very satisfying hypothesis to explain the remaining minority of cases.
