[jira] Issue Comment Edited: (CASSANDRA-2142) Add "reduce memory
usage because I tuned things poorly" feature
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2142?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12992194#comment-12992194 ]

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Part of the problem there is the heap size of 128M is ridiculously small and you can insert data quickly enough that CMS probably never gets a chance before it goes into the death spiral I'm seeing around 90% on various (1G+) heaps. The threshold is too high though, although this may ultimately depend on how much breathing room is left in the heap (and thus the size of the heap itself.)

> Users frequently create too many columnfamilies, set the memtable thresholds too high (or adjust throughput while ignoring operations), and/or set caching thresholds too high. Then their server OOMs and they tell their friends Cassandra sucks.
