Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-6655: --------------------------------------------- bq. though full partition deletions were not added to the memtable size, they were accounted in currentOperations and wouldn't end up not flushing Scratch that, it seems we don't take currentOperations in account to flush anymore, so full partition deletions are also affected. > Writing mostly deletes to a Memtable results in undercounting the table's > occupancy so it may not flush > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-6655 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6655 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Benedict > Assignee: Benedict > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.0.5, 2.0.6 > > Attachments: tmp-2.1.patch, tmp.patch > > > In the extreme case of only deletes the memtable will never flush, and we > will OOM. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
