Edward Capriolo commented on CASSANDRA-1426: -------------------------------------------- I am for smarter row cache as well, as long as there is no other issues that large rows can cause. Just putting a scenario out there, getSlicing on a large row. OOM's are not the only problem. Any activity that does not OOM but causes a random GC/JVM pause. Those are thing things I worry about, one bad row spoiling the show :) Sorry for a RTFM question but what size is the in-memory compaction threshold, and can it be changed on the user end? > Bring back RowWarningThresholdInMB and set it low > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-1426 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1426 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 0.7 beta 1 > Reporter: Edward Capriolo > > The problem with big rows in 6.0 and 7.0 is they tend to cause OOM with row > cache and other memory problems. CFStats shows us the MaximumSizedRow but it > does not show which row this is. Applications that have to scan all the data > on a node to turn up a big row are intensive and while they are running they > lower cache hit rate significantly. > Even though Cassandra 7.0 can accommodate larger rows then 6.X, most use > cases would never have rows that go over 2 MB. > Please consider bringing this feature back and setting it low. > <RowWarningThresholdInMB>10</RowWarningThresholdInMB>. With this admins can > monitor logs and point out large rows before they get out of hand and cause > mysterious crashes. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
