> JVM out of memory when querying an extra-large partition with lots of
> tombstones
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: CASSANDRA-12707
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12707
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Reporter: nicolas ginder
>
> We have an extra large partition of 40 million cells where most of the cells
> were deleted. When querying this partition with a slice query, Cassandra runs
> out of memory as tombstones fill up the JVM heap. After debugging one of the
> large SSTable we found that this part of the code loads all the tombstones.
> In org.apache.cassandra.db.filter.QueryFilter
> ...
> public static Iterator<Cell> gatherTombstones(final ColumnFamily returnCF,
> final Iterator<? extends OnDiskAtom> iter)
> {
> ...
> while (iter.hasNext())
> {
> OnDiskAtom atom = iter.next();
> if (atom instanceof Cell)
> {
> next = (Cell)atom;
> break;
> }
> else
> {
> returnCF.addAtom(atom);
> }
> }
> ...
