AggressiveOpts, if i remember correctly, uses options that are not documented but will probably make into a future release of the JVM. cassandra used it once upon a time. probably should take it out, but things work just fine for me now ;) On Tue, 2010-07-27 at 01:48 -0700, Dathan Pattishall wr

@Todd, I noticed some new ops in your cassandra.in.sh. Is there any documentation on what these ops are, and what they do? For instance AggressiveOpts, etc. On Mon, Jul 26, 2010 at 4:33 PM, B. Todd Burruss wrote: > i run cassandra with a 30gb heap on machines with 48gb total with good > resul

i run cassandra with a 30gb heap on machines with 48gb total with good results. i don't use more just because i want to leave some for the OS to cache disk pages, etc. i did have the problem a couple of times with GC doing a full stop on the JVM because it couldn't keep up. my understanding of t

If the cache is stored in the heap, how big can the heap be made realistically on a 24gb ram machine? I am a java newbie but I have read concerns with going over 8gb for the heap as the GC can be too painful/take too long. I already have seen timeout issues (node is dead errors) under load during G

Key Caching

2010-07-26 Thread Wayne
I am trying to use the key cache, and I had some basic questions as to how it works. There seem to be settings based on % and total count, but not on total cache size like most caching mechanisms. Is the cache stored in the jvm heap or somewhere else? We have 24gb RAM nodes with a 8gb jvm heap size
