reduce default heap size ------------------------ Key: CASSANDRA-3295 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3295 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 1.0.0 Reporter: Jonathan Ellis Assignee: Brandon Williams Priority: Minor Fix For: 1.0.0
With off-heap caching now the default and with auto-flushed memtables demonstrated to do a good job with smaller heaps, I think it's time to reduce heap sizes to decrease GC pause times. How does this sound? - half the ram, up to 512MB, or - 1/4 the ram, up to 4 GB i.e.: max(min(1/2 ram, 512MB), min(1/4 ram, 4GB)) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
