Todd Lipcon commented on ACCUMULO-49:
-------------------------------------
Right, that makes sense. But the mlock behavior is probably what you want,
there - otherwise you might end up having to swapout in order to satisfy stack
growth, which is just as bad.
> optionally monitor swappiness on every server

> Key: ACCUMULO-49
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-49
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: logger, master, trace, tserver
> Environment: idle tablet server is swapped out on an otherwise busy
> system
> Reporter: Eric Newton
> Assignee: Eric Newton
> Priority: Minor
> Original Estimate: 4h
> Remaining Estimate: 4h
>
> Linux kernel will eagerly swap idle memory (such as the tablet server) for
> disk cache unless the /proc/sys/vm/swappiness setting is set to 0. A
> swapped-out server is sluggish enough that it loses its zookeeper lock.
