Eric Evans commented on CASSANDRA-3991:
---------------------------------------

The issue I described originally can be repro'd 100% of the time. I've seen
this burning people on irc who install from the debian package (thus getting
jsvc) and wanting to use a tiny jvm for development.

After all this time, I'm not sure I tested that. If it struck me then the way
it does now, I might put it off. Certainly, {{jsvc}} can't be the only
obstacle to running under such low memory requirements.
I _have_ spent a fair amount of time trying to reproduced the runaway
utilization and memory leak complaints, to no avail.

> jsvc seems to be buggy at best. For instance, if you set a small heap like
> 128M it seems to completely ignore this and use as much memory as it wants.

> its memory usage.
