Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-5661: ------------------------------------------- It's a lot less memory used than the status quo. I'd take a little contention over OOMing people. > 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.
