I have problem with reproducible memory leaks in 1.0.5 - node ends with OOM, it worked fine with 1.0.3. Can someone write guide how to report memory leaks - i can collect jmap dumps. It would be best to write wiki page about it. I am not happy with 1.x branch stability. It has memory leaks

Hi Jeremiah, The thing is I will send the data to a massive storage facility (I don't know what's behind the scenes) so I won't be backing up on one machine where I can install Cassandra. Does the sstable loader work just for copying data from a Cassandra cluster to somewhere on a disk where

Question about storage (live vs total) for column families

My understanding was that total is sum of all SSTables on disc even those not being used currently and live is the sum of the SSTables on disc that are being used currently. Well I have a Cassandra 1.0.2 cluster in which all of the column families are reporting live being greater than total. I

Currently, the syntax for creating column families is like this: create column family Users with comparator=UTF8Type and default_validation_class=UTF8Type and key_validation_class=UTF8Type; It's not clear what comparator and default_validation_class refer to. Much clearer would be: create

Sounds like you're simply throwing more seq scans at it via m/r than your disk can handle. iostat could confirm that disk is the bottleneck. But real monitoring would be better. http://www.datastax.com/products/opscenter On Thu, Dec 8, 2011 at 1:02 AM, Patrik Modesto patrik.mode...@gmail.com
