[jira] [Reopened] (CASSANDRA-6574) key cache shrinks on restart

["Chris Burroughs (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6574?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Chris Burroughs reopened CASSANDRA-6574:
----------------------------------------

Still occurs in 2.0.x  At the least I should find my debugging code to include a note in the log.

What keeps all of these null's in the keycache from taking up memory that could be used for something useful?  Is there a prune mechanism?

> During a rolling restart the key number of entries the number of entries in the key cache is shrinking.  That is far fewer entries are loaded than are saved.  This has obvious bad consequences for post restart performance.
