Tyler Hobbs commented on CASSANDRA-5555:
----------------------------------------

[~jbellis] did you still want to increase the default heap size?  Just want to make sure you didn't forget to increase it if you intended to.

FYI, we'll likely do a stress test to see what the new limit is with these changes.

> With the default heap size, sstableloader will OOM when there are roughly 25k files in the directory to load.  It's easy to reach this number of files in a single LCS column family.
> By avoiding creating all SSTableReaders up front in SSTableLoader, we should be able to increase the number of files that sstableloader can handle considerably.
