Thank you all for the response. I figured out the root cause. I thought all my data was in memtable only but the data was actually being dumped to the disk. That's why I was noticing the drop in throughput. On Wed, May 24, 2017 at 9:42 AM, daemeon reiydelle wrote: > You

You speak of increase. Please provide your results. Specific examples, Eg 25% increase results in n% increase. Also please include number of nodes, size of total keyspace, rep factor, etc. Hopefully this is a 6 node cluster with several hundred gig per keyspace, not some single node free tier

Larger memtable means mor time during flushes and larger heap means longer GC pauses. You can see these in system log Sent from my iPhone > On May 24, 2017, at 11:31 AM, preetika tyagi wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm experimenting with memtable/heap size on my Cassandra

Impact on latency with larger memtable

2017-05-24 Thread preetika tyagi
Hi, I'm experimenting with memtable/heap size on my Cassandra server to understand how it impacts the latency/throughput for read requests. I vary heap size (Xms and -Xmx) in jvm.options so memtable will be 1/4 of this. When I increase the heap size and hence memtable, I notice the drop in
