Hi all, we have a mem problem with cassandra. res goes up without bounds (well until the os kills the process because we dont have swap)
I found a thread that's about the same problem but on OpenJDK: http://cassandra-user-incubator-apache-org.3065146.n2.nabble.com/Very-high-memory-utilization-not-caused-by-mmap-on-sstables-td5840777.html We are on Debian with Sun JDK. Resident mem is 7.4G while heap is restricted to 3G. Anyone else is seeing this with Sun JDK?
