Ivo Ladage - van Doorn commented on AMDATUCASSANDRA-114:
--------------------------------------------------------

Further analyzed this issue focussing on what is actually going wrong. This 
page describes pretty well what the 'liveratio' warning is about:
http://thelastpickle.com/2011/05/04/How-are-Memtables-measured/

In Cassandra 0.8 a new way was introduced to determine when a memtable should 
be flushed to disk, called 'memtable_total_space_in_mb'. Although this setting 
is uncommented in the cassandra.yaml, this approach is used by default. The new 
approach uses the Java agent as it needs to calculate the actual size of all 
objects stored in the memtable, before flushing it to disk. When the Java agent 
is not available, it fails to detect the liveratio and uses the default factor 
10 instead.

> This message appears a lot when Cassandra is started:
> WARNING: MemoryMeter uninitialized (jamm not specified as java agent); 
> assuming liveRatio of 10.0.  Usually this means cassandra-env.sh disabled 
> jamm because you are using a buggy JRE; upgrade to the Sun JRE instead 
> [org.amdatu.core.loghandler]
