Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-3534: ------------------------------------------- Then you will be able to say "use X amount of memory for memtables, Y amount for the cache (and monitor Z amount for the bloom filters)" which makes the old "pressure valve" code obsolete. > Enhance memory emergency pressure valve > --------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-3534 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3534 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core > Affects Versions: 1.1 > Reporter: Vijay > Assignee: Vijay > Priority: Minor > > Seems like when these thresholds are reached we are trying to reduce the > keycache and Memtable sizes, but in the trunk memtable is moved off-heap > hence reducing that will not actually help. > Reducing the keycache might help but we might want to provide a way to bring > the cache level back to the configured value when the pressure goes away. > Conversation from IRC: we might want to remove these setting all together > after global keycache. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
