> We have been using mslab on all our clusters for a while now and it seems it tends to OOME or send us into GC loops of death a lot more than it used to. For example, one RS with mslab enabled and 7GB of heap died out of OOME this afternoon; it had .55GB in the block cache and 2.03GB in the memstores which doesn't account for much... but it could be that because of mslab a lot of space was lost in those incomplete 2MB blocks and without metrics we can't really tell. Compactions were running at the time of the OOME and I see block cache activity. The average load on that cluster is 531.
> We should at least publish the total size of all those blocks and maybe even take actions based on that (like force flushing).
