Pavel Yaskevich commented on CASSANDRA-3183: -------------------------------------------- bq. I don't think this is actually technically correct, though – JNA Memory does not require libc to work. we can still use Memory.class.getName() there if you like > Make SerializingCacheProvider the default if JNA is available > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-3183 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3183 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Task > Components: Core > Reporter: Jonathan Ellis > Assignee: Jonathan Ellis > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.0.0 > > Attachments: 3183-additions.patch, 3183-alt.patch, 3183.txt, > CASSANDRA-3183-alt-v2.patch > > > The serializing cache is a better choice for most users: > - Lower total memory usage (serialized data is usually 8x-12x smaller than > "live" data in the JVM with all the overhead that involves) means you can > cache more rows for a given memory footprint > - Moving the serialized rows off-heap means you can use smaller heaps, > reducing the impact of GC pauses -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
