-------------------------------------------
since I was there..
$ /opt/jdk1.8.0/bin/java -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal
-version |grep CMSClassUnloadingEnabled
bool CMSClassUnloadingEnabled := true {product}
java version "1.8.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-b128)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.0-b69, mixed mode)
> New versions of Hotspot create new Class objects on every JMX connection
> causing the heap to fill up with them if CMSClassUnloadingEnabled isn't set.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6541
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Config
> Reporter: jonathan lacefield
> Assignee: Brandon Williams
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.2.16, 2.0.6, 2.1 beta2
>
>
> Newer versions of Oracle's Hotspot JVM , post 6u43 (maybe earlier) and 7u25
> (maybe earlier), are experiencing issues with GC and JMX where heap slowly
> fills up overtime until OOM or a full GC event occurs, specifically when CMS
> is leveraged. Adding:
> {noformat}
> JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled"
> {noformat}
> The the options in cassandra-env.sh alleviates the problem.
