flush of Memtable-idx_graphable@915643571*(4671498/96780112 serialized/live bytes, 59891 ops) can somebody explain why difference between live and serialized is so big? Serialized bytes are actual bytes written to sstable? *

Thanks Jonathan ! memtable_total_space_in_mb is the threshold that is reached. Kind regards, Sorin On Mon, Sep 12, 2011 at 3:16 PM, Jonathan Ellis wrote: > see memtable_total_space_in_mb at > http://thelastpickle.com/2011/05/04/How-are-Memtables-measured/ > > On Mon, Sep 12, 2011 at 6:55 AM,

Hi, I've checked the memtable flush (cassandra 0.8.4) and it seams to me it hapens sooner then the threshold is reached. Here's the threshould's (the default ones calculated for a heap size of -Xmx1980M): ColumnFamily: idx_graphable (Super) Key Validation Class: org.apache.cassandra.d

Memtable flush thresholds - what am I missing?

2011-08-18 Thread Dan Hendry
I am in the process of trying to tune the memtable flush thresholds for a particular column family (super column family to be specific) in my Cassandra 0.8.1 cluster. This CF is reasonably heavily used and getting flushed roughly every 5-8 minutes which is hardly optimal, particularly given I have
