Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-3991: --------------------------------------------- bq. But if the main goal is to restart after a crash I don't think that is a main goal. Certainly OOMing in a loop, with heap dumps enabled, is not a thing we really ought to be doing. Thanks for the JSW pointer, though! > Investigate importance of jsvc in debian packages > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-3991 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3991 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core > Reporter: Brandon Williams > Assignee: Brandon Williams > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.1.1 > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
