Thanks Akhil for response. I have set memtable_allocation_type as Off-heap. But cassandra 2.1.x does not allow to set *memtable_heap_space_in_mb: 0.*
It mentions , we need to assign some positive value to heap space. In such case, will memtable still use jvm heap space. Can anyone suggest below parameters. memtable_flush_writers: memtable_cleanup_threshold: PS : We have high write intensive workload . 5Node cluster (12 Core , 62GB RAM and flash disk per node) Regards, Varun Saluja On 23 May 2017 at 03:26, Akhil Mehra <akhilme...@gmail.com> wrote: > I believe off-heap storage was reintroduced in 3.4 ( > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9472).
