Hi folks,
I’m using apache Cassandra 2.2.
Instance is configured with max_heap_size set at 16G, memtable_allocation_type
is offheap_objects – total available memory is 62G on the server.
There is nothing but Cassandra is running on my Linux server.
My Cassandra instance is consuming all available memory on my machine!
$ free -h
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 62G 62G 776M 184K 35M 42G
-/+ buffers/cache: 19G 43G
Swap: 4.0G 0B 4.0G
Can you guys please suggest how I can limit memory usage of my Cassandra
instance and why C* may be using all available memory?
I’ll much appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks/Asad
