I'm following John Berryman's blog "Building the Perfect Cassandra Test Environment" concerning running C* in a very small amount of memory. he recommends theses settings in cassandra.yaml
reduce_cache_sizes_at: 0 reduce_cache_capacity_to: 0 (Blog is at http://www.opensourceconnections.com/2013/08/31/building-the-perfect-cassandra-test-environment/) I'm assuming the blog must be talking about C* prior to version 2.0 because these settings do not appear in 2.0's .yaml file. Why where they removed and what's the alternative ?
