The "FAQ" page has been changed by JonathanEllis. http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/FAQ?action=diff&rev1=54&rev2=55 -------------------------------------------------- <<Anchor(slows_down_after_lotso_inserts)>> == Why does Cassandra slow down after doing a lot of inserts? == - This is a symptom of memory pressure, resulting in a storm of GC operations as the JVM frantically tries to free enough heap to continue to operate. + This is a symptom of memory pressure, resulting in a storm of GC operations as the JVM frantically tries to free enough heap to continue to operate. Eventually, the server will crash from OutOfMemory; usually, but not always, it will be able to log this final error before the JVM terminates. You can increase the amount of memory the JVM uses, or decrease the insert threshold before Cassandra flushes its memtables. See MemtableThresholds for details.
