"What is the largest size that seems to work?" Tablet servers have been run in 64M JVMs without a problem, so long as there isn't any other pressure to swap that memory out (such as large map/reduce jobs). Since we've been keeping the New Generation size down ("-XX:NewSize=500m -XX:MaxNewSize=500m") we haven't seen any problems with long pauses in the GC.
We may have run them at larger sizes, but not for very long. The example configurations are there for seeing up a single node in your personal development space, so the emphasis was on smaller memory footprints. -Eric On Mon, Apr 1, 2013 at 10:33 AM, David Medinets <david.medin...@gmail.com>wrote: > I have a chunk of data (let's say 400M) that I want to store in Accumulo. > I can store the chunk in the ColumnFamily or in the Value.
