Summary: Use off-heap memtables by default Key: CASSANDRA-12029 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12029 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Robert Stupp Priority: Minor A memtable configuration for 0mb on-heap and >0 mb off-heap is currently rejected. I'm not fully sure whether this is intentional, but making the memtable completely off-heap could reduce heap usage and GC pressure using a configuration like this: {code} memtable_heap_space_in_mb: 0 memtable_offheap_space_in_mb: 1024 memtable_allocation_type: offheap_objects {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
