Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-5555: --------------------------------------------- bq. In any case, ISTM that it should be fairly easy to wrap sstableloader in a script that gives it X GB of files at a time. Possible, but not trivial, since sstableloader works on a directory. > Allow sstableloader to handle a larger number of files > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-5555 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5555 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Tools > Reporter: Tyler Hobbs > Assignee: Dave Brosius > Fix For: 1.2.6 > > Attachments: 5555-01.txt > > > With the default heap size, sstableloader will OOM when there are roughly 25k > files in the directory to load.
