Hello All.
I am facing a (capacity?) problem in my eight nodes cluster running 0.6.2 patched with CASSANDRA-1014 and CASSANDRA-699. I have 200 writes/second on peaks (on each node, taking into account replication), with arow size of 35kb. I configured the memtable size to 1GB, the biggest size my heap seems to tolerate. With this configuration, the cluster is writing a sstable each 5 mins. When I decrease the memtable size I run into a minor compaction storm. However, the 1GB memtable forces me to have a hughe heap and makes me living on the edge of the memory. The question is: - Do I need more power in order to write less than 1GB each five minutes? - Has anyone experience with heaps of more than 8GBs? - Are the standard minor compaction thresholds usually enough for high loads? Or is something I am supposed to tune?. Thanks! Carlos. -- Tal vez hubo un error en la grafía. O en la articulación del Sacro Nombre.
