Jim Witschey updated CASSANDRA-10581:
-------------------------------------
Description:
Looks like in 2.2+ changing the {{memory_allocator}} field in cassandra.yaml
has no effect:
https://github.com/apache/cassandra/commit/0d2ec11c7e0abfb84d872289af6d3ac386cf381f#diff-b66584c9ce7b64019b5db5a531deeda1R207
The instructions in comments on how to use jemalloc haven't been updated to
reflect this change. [~snazy], is that an accurate assessment?
[~iamaleksey] How do we want to handle the deprecation more generally? Warn on
2.2, remove in 3.0?
EDIT: I described this in a way that isn't very clear to those unfamiliar with
Robert's change. To be clear: You can still use JEMAlloc with Cassandra. The
{{memory_allocator}} option was deprecated in favor of automatically detecting
if JEMAlloc is installed, and, if so, using it.
