[jira] Commented: (CASSANDRA-609) Easy to OOM on log replay since memtable limits are ignored

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

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-609?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12787562#action_12787562 ] 

Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-609:
------------------------------------------

To clarify: under low load, you won't much exceed a single memtable's worth of inserts since when a memtable flushes it marks the commitlog header as "start replay from here."  But under high load, you can have a significant amount of inserts done while flushes are queued up in sort + write executors, and this is where you run into trouble on replay.
