Is this from the output of the "free" command? Bitcask uses the operating system's buffers for file operations, and will happily use as much free ram as it can get to speed up operations. However, the OS will use that memory for other programs that need it should that need arise. If you're using Linux, these settings may improve bitcask performance in your cluster: http://docs.basho.com/riak/kv/2.1.4/using/performance/#optional-i-o-settings Benchmarking before and after making changes is the recommended way to proceed.
