             Summary: Add Operating System Specific Setup Documentation for 
Cassandra
                 Key: CASSANDRA-14816
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14816
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: Documentation and Website
            Reporter: Joseph Lynch


There are a number of operating system tunings that can vastly improve 
Cassandra's performance on Linux in particular things like:

# Setting {{/sys/block/${DEVICE}/queue/read_ahead_kb}} to something more 
reasonable like 32
# Setting the qdisc on modern linux to something better like {{tc-fq}} with 
{{bbr}}
# Setting {{nofile}} ulimits properly and {{fs.file-max}}
# Potentially raising {{vm.max_map_count}} even higher than the default debian 
package does
# Using raid instead of jbod
# Mounting /tmp on a tmpfs and turning back on {{PerfDisableSharedMem}}

And many more ... I think many of the recommendations from [Amy 
Tobey's|https://tobert.github.io/pages/als-cassandra-21-tuning-guide.html] 2.1 
guide may still be pretty relevant.

Perhaps we can document some of these in the website's Operations section?
