Hi, For a single node of cassandra(1.0 version) having 15G of data+index, 48GB RAM, 8GB heap and about 2.6G memtable threshold, I am getting OOM when I have 1000 concurrent inserts happening at the same time. I have kept concurrent_writes: 128 in cassandra.yaml as there are a total of 16 cores (suggestion is to keep 8 * number_of_cores).
Can someone give pointers on what needs to be tuned. Thanks, AJ.
