Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-3991:
---------------------------------------------
bq. If jsvc is buggy (is this memory thing the only problem?)
I've also heard of output.log getting huge, as you noted on irc we can
logrotate that problem away.
bq. Try to properly daemonize entirely from shell (I tried doing this with
bin/cassandra FWIW, I don't think it's practical)
Out of curiosity, what was the problem? I'm doing this on a machine right now
(by removing jsvc from the init) and it hasn't been a problem (though I'll
admit I'm running it as root, heh)
bq. Looking at the source, jsvc seems pretty simple. I might be willing to take
a crack at bug-fixing in the weeks to come assuming a) I knew how to reproduce
the issue(s), and b) everyone doesn't already have their hearts set on #4.
I don't see anything pressing enough to jump straight to 4 yet, but if that
changes it's the easiest option to implement so I'm willing to wait and try to
do things the Right Way.

> jsvc seems to be buggy at best. For instance, if you set a small heap like
> 128M it seems to completely ignore this and use as much memory as it wants.
> I don't know what this is buying us over launching /usr/bin/cassandra
> directly like the redhat scripts do, but I've seen multiple complaints about
> its memory usage.
