Pavel Yaskevich commented on CASSANDRA-5661: -------------------------------------------- I'm not sure what you mean. I was trying to say that caching doesn't deliver good trade-off in terms of memory usage on small files. On the other hand caching makes more sense with STCS especially on higher tiers as number of blocks handled by one buffer would be few orders of magnitude higher. > Discard pooled readers for cold data > ------------------------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-5661 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5661 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core > Affects Versions: 1.2.1 > Reporter: Jonathan Ellis > Assignee: Pavel Yaskevich > Fix For: 1.2.7 > > Attachments: DominatorTree.png, Histogram.png > > > Reader pooling was introduced in CASSANDRA-4942 but pooled > RandomAccessReaders are never cleaned up until the SSTableReader is closed. > So memory use is "the worst case simultaneous RAR we had open for this file, > forever." > We should introduce a global limit on how much memory to use for RAR, and > evict old ones. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
