[jira] Commented: (CASSANDRA-401) Less crappy failure mode when swamped with inserts than "run out of memory and gc-storm to death"

["Jonathan Ellis (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-401?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12755700#action_12755700 ] 

Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-401:
------------------------------------------

The MemoryPoolMXBean approach is going to be JVM and even GC implementation specific, right?  For instance right now I have CMS old gen, CMS perm gen, code cache, par eden space, and par survivor space memory pools with the JDK6 CMS GC.  But with the throughput GC, or JDK7 G1, those would be different.  So picking a single pool and setting a threshold seems fragile, and so does taking the average or max of all pools.

> Suggestion was made that http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/management/MemoryPoolMXBean.html#setCollectionUsageThreshold(long) is relevant.  Correlation eludes me, but I Am Not A Java Expert. :)
