Spiros Ioannou commented on CASSANDRA-10403:
--------------------------------------------

Just a note here, even with 8G heap, some GC can take very long (8cpu machine, 
2TB data size). While typical is about 220ms, it can take > 20sec.

WARN  [Service Thread] 2017-05-02 10:44:08,772 GCInspector.java:282 - 
ConcurrentMarkSweep GC in 20335ms.  CMS Old Gen: 4251698688 -> 2490135992; Par 
Eden Space: 671088640 -> 0; ...

That happens especially during repairs, and makes other nodes drop the one 
doing the long GC, and makes almost all repairs fail. Using G1 seems a valid 
option for production.

> Consider reverting to CMS GC on 3.0

> Reference discussion on CASSANDRA-7486.
> For smaller heap sizes G1 appears to have some throughput/latency issues when 
> compared to CMS. With our default max heap size at 8G on 3.0, there's a 
> strong argument to be made for having CMS as the default for the 3.0 release.
