Jay Patel updated CASSANDRA-7883:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
Off-heap memtables (memtable_allocation_type:offheap_objects) introduced by 
CASSANDRA-6694 uses native GCC allocator. Provide an option to use JEMalloc 
allocator (http://www.canonware.com/jemalloc/) which is good to reduce 
fragmentation. 

CASSANDRA-3997 adds below option for off-heap caches and metadata. But it's not 
in effect for off-heap memtables. Should we use the same option or add another?

memory_allocator: JEMallocAllocator
