> Wrong memtable size estimation: liveRatio is not honored in edge cases
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-6078
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6078
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Oleg Anastasyev
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.2.11, 2.0.2
>
> Attachments: 6078-v2.txt, Memtable-getLiveSize.diff
>
>
> Memtable.getLiveSize does not honours liveRatio the correct way:
> allocator.get**Size() return sizes allocated only by name and columns data
> (i.e. no liveRatio applied); but conditions, which cap estimated size,
> compare it with estimatedSize, already multiplied by liveRatio.
> If liveRatio is big enough (i've seen >11 on our dataset), this leads to huge
> estimation errors and even to OutOfMemory, because MeteredFlusher
> underestimates memtables sizes.
