> memtable_total_space_in_mb: 200
This means cassandra tries to use less than 200MB of real memory to hold
memtables. The problem is java takes a lot more memory to hold data than it
takes to store on disk. You can see the ratio of serialized to live bytes
logged from the Memtable with messages
Hi
I am using Cassandra 1.0.6 version in our production system and noticed that
Cassandra flushing the data to SSTable and the file size is < 10MB. With
under moderate write load, the Cassandra flushing lots of memtables with
small sizes. With this compaction doing lots of compactions.
