Also, is it okay to set MemtableSizeInMB in lower and restart? And what is the reasoning behind lowering object count? Isn't it whichever hits first which causes flushing? Or is there other memory used when object count is higher?
One other thing, is there other hidden memory (in cache, index, thrift requests, etc) and is there some way to estimate/limit those.
