T Jake Luciani commented on CASSANDRA-7402:
-------------------------------------------
This isn't going to fix the underlying issue (reads/queries are overcapacity
but it will tell an operator that reads are too high vs just wondering what's
happening to the system).
Similar to the purpose of memtable_cleanup_threashold
> limit the on heap memory available to requests

> Key: CASSANDRA-7402
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7402
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: T Jake Luciani
> Fix For: 3.0
>
>
> When running a production cluster one common operational issue is quantifying
> GC pauses caused by ongoing requests.
> Since different queries return varying amount of data you can easily get your
> self into a situation where you Stop the world from a couple of bad actors in
> the system. Or more likely the aggregate garbage generated on a single node
> across all in flight requests causes a GC.
> We should be able to set a limit on the max heap we can allocate to all
> outstanding requests and track the garbage per requests to stop this from
> happening. It should increase a single nodes availability substantially.
> In the yaml this would be
> {code}
> total_request_memory_space_mb: 400
> {code}
> It would also be nice to have either a log of queries which generate the most
> garbage so operators can track this. Also a histogram.
