So.. a lot fewer MBeans per column family and/or MBean stuff not consuming heap? Then you still have the problem of each CF having at least one live Memtable, which even if empty will still consume heap... I'm thinking the real answer to "what it will take for C* to support 50k CFs" is "a JVM which can functionally support heap sizes over 8gb" ... which seems unlikely to happen any time soon. =Rob
