> Key: CASSANDRA-2427
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2427
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Benjamin Coverston
> Assignee: Patricio Echague
> Labels: commitlog, hardening
> Fix For: 1.0
>
>
> Widely divergent write rates on column families can cause the commit log
> segments to fragment. In some cases we have seen the commit log partition
> overrun.
> One solution here would be to create a heuristic for segment fragmentation to
> trigger a flush (commit log segments/memtable) or simply track the free disk
> space and force a global flush when the disk gets to 80% capacity.
