             Summary: Limit number of OOM heap dumps to avoid full disk issue 
                 Key: CASSANDRA-20457
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-20457
             Project: Apache Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Dmitry Konstantinov
            Assignee: Dmitry Konstantinov


We can add the following protective logic to our startup scripts for Cassandra: 
* check the directory is used for heap dumps
* if the number of existing heap dumps more than a threshold configured in an 
env variable then remove the oldest one

It allows to avoid a case when we have a periodic OOM due to some issue and 
eventually kill ourselves due to lack of disk space consumed by heap dumps.
