--------------------------------------------------------------------
To answer Jonathan's questions: (1) we have tested around several million keys,
(2) avg row size ~ 2k, max row size ~ 10k. (3) tried several Xmx settings, max
tried is 5G. Before compaction starts, pretty much most of the heap is free. I
think the problem is easy to run into if the system is run with continuous
traffic for over a week or so given that our test dataset has been fairly small.

> jvm crashes intermittently during compaction. Our test data set is not that
> big, less than 10 GB.
> When jvm is about to crash, we see that it consumes a lot of memory
> (exceeding the max heap size).
> The excessive memory usage during compaction is caused by the maintenance of
> blockIndexes_ in SSTable. this blockIndexes_ was only introduced to the
> apache version.
