I'm still wondering about how to chose the size of the sstable under LCS. Defaul is 5MB, people use to configure it to 10MB and now you configure it at 128MB. What are the benefits or inconveniants of a very small size (let's say 5 MB) vs big size (like 128MB) ? Alain 2013/3/8 Al Tobey

Row cache off-heap ?

2013-03-08 Thread Alain RODRIGUEZ
Hi, We have some issue having a high read throughput. I wanted to alleviate things by turning the row cache ON. I set the row cache to 200 on one node and enable caching 'ALL' on the 3 most read CF. There is the effect this operation had on my JVM:

think it is. By turning that to 512 or maybe even 1024, you will consume less ram there as well though I ran this test in QA and my key cache size stayed the same so I am really not sure(I am actually checking out cassandra code now to dig a little deeper into this property. Dean From: Alain

remember is used more IO than STS Are you meaning during compactions ? Because I thought that LCS should decrease the number of disks reads (since 90% of the data aren't spread across multiple sstables and C* needs to read only a file to find the entire row) while not compacting right ?
