>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9274
>             Project: Cassandra
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Configuration, Documentation and Website
>            Reporter: Donald Smith
>            Priority: Minor

> It says in cassandra.yaml:
> {noformat}
> # If your data directories are backed by SSD, you should increase this
> # to the number of cores.
> #memtable_flush_writers: 8
> {noformat}
> so we raised it to 24.
> Much later we noticed a warning in the logs:
> {noformat}
> WARN  [main] 2015-04-22 15:32:58,619 DatabaseDescriptor.java:539 - memtable_cleanup_threshold is set very low, which may cause performance degradation
> {noformat}
> Looking at cassandra.yaml again I see:
> {noformat}
> # memtable_cleanup_threshold defaults to 1 / (memtable_flush_writers + 1)
> # memtable_cleanup_threshold: 0.11
> #memtable_cleanup_threshold: 0.11
> {noformat}
> So, I uncommented that last line (figuring that 0.11 is a reasonable value).
> Cassandra.yaml should give better guidance or the code should *prevent* the value from going outside a reasonable range.
