Just an informal poll- what is preferred for Linux vm.swappiness setting for Riak in a *cloud* environment? The default is 60 - a lot of stuff gets swapped out. This is good for OS disk cache.
I am thinking vm.swappiness = 0 - Avoid slow & potentially costly I/O operations in the virtualized environment - Make it easier to see if bitcask is running low of memory, as soon as the Swap partition has been touched at all (1st out of memory condition) - Disk cache wont be as effective. - I just like seeing Swap: 0% when I log in :0 Does this setting even matter at all, practically speaking? _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list riak-users@lists.basho.com http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
