memory

All:

For a rough rule of thumb, Cassandra's internal datastructures will
require about memtable_throughput_in_mb * 3 * number of hot CFs + 1G +
internal caches. 

 

Why cassandra need so much memory? What is the 1G memory used for?

That advice is a little out of date, specially in the future world of 0.8 memory management, see http://thelastpickle.com/2011/05/04/How-are-Memtables-measured/
