Re: Update defaults for 4.0?

I just wanted to close the loop for https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14902 (update compaction_throughput_mb_per_sec default from 16 to 64) - the default will become 64 for 4.0 unless people had strong objections. I'll update the separate discussion on num_tokens (

I support changing the default GC settings. The ones we have now drive me nuts. We should raise the max heap size for CMS to 16G instead of 8 now. We should still not go higher than half the available RAM. Also, we should set a new gen size between 40% and 50% of the heap size. The 100MB per core

To summarize this thread, I think people are generally okay with updating certain defaults for 4.0 provided we make sure it doesn't unpleasantly surprise cluster operators. I think with the num_tokens and compaction_throughput_in_mb we could go with a release note for the reasons in my last

In addition to these, maybe we could consider to change other as well? Like: 1. bump roles_validity_in_ms, permissions_validity_in_ms, and credentials_validity_in_ms as well - maybe at least to a minute, or 2. I have seen multiple times when authentication was failing under the heavy

I think what he means is that if users have existing clusters with num_tokens=256 (current default) and the default changes to 32, the node won't ignore the value, it will fail to start with an error that you cannot change from one num_tokens value to another: ERROR [main] 2020-01-22 17:10:53,159

If someone isn't explicitly setting vnodes, and the default changes, it will vary from the number of assigned tokens for existing clusters, right? Won't this cause the node to fail to start? I am in favor of changing these defaults, but should provide very clear guidance on vnodes (unless I am
