Comment:
Increase MAX_HEAP_SIZE to 128M for tutorial configutation

  }}}
  If you are not familiar with Java GC, 1/4 of MAX_HEAP_SIZE may be a good start point for  HEAP_NEWSIZE.
   
- Cassandra will need more than few GB heap for production use, but you can run it with smaller footprint for test drive. If you want to assign 96MB as max, edit the lines as following.

  {{{ 
- MAX_HEAP_SIZE="96M"
+ MAX_HEAP_SIZE="128M"
- HEAP_NEWSIZE="24M"
+ HEAP_NEWSIZE="32M"

  If you face OutOfMemory exceptions or massive GCs with this configuration, increase these values.
