Hey guys, After the upgrade to 2.1.3, and after almost exactly 5 hours running cassandra did indeed crash again on the 2GB ram VM.
This is how the memory on the VM looked after the crash: [root@web2:~] #free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 2002 1227 774 8 45 386 -/+ buffers/cache: 794 1207 Swap: 0 0 0 And that's with this set in the cassandra-env.sh file: MAX_HEAP_SIZE="800M" HEAP_NEWSIZE="200M" So I'm thinking now, do I just have to abandon this idea I have of running Cassandra on a 2GB instance? Or is this something we can all agree can be done? And if so, how can we do that? :) Thanks Tim On Wed, Feb 18, 2015 at 8:39 PM, Jason Kushmaul | WDA < jason.kushm...@wda.com> wrote: > I asked this previously when a similar message came through, with a > similar response. > > > > planetcassandra seems to have it “right”, in that stable=2.0, > development=2.1, whereas the apache site says stable is 2.1. > > “Right” in they assume latest minor version is development.
