Hello All, The recommended settings for Cassandra suggests to have a higher value for vm.max_map_count than the default 65530
WARN [main] 2021-04-14 19:10:52,528 StartupChecks.java:311 - Maximum > number of memory map areas per process (vm.max_map_count) 65530 is too low > , recommended value: 1048575, you can change it with sysctl. However, I am running Cassandra process as a container, where I don't have access to change the value on Kubernetes worker node and the cassandra pod runs with less privileges. I would like to understand why Cassandra needs a higher value of memory map? and is there a way to restrict Cassandra to not use beyond the default value of 65530. If there is a way please let me know how to restrict and also any side effects in making that change? Thanks in advance
