So, to continue this monologue: I reduced the memtable size for that CF and the by means of the MBeans figured out that the secondary index is a CF as well which presumably also holds up to 3 memtables in memory...that would explain why it runs OOM. Anyway, I created an issue (affect rc2 beause there's yet no rc3 to select in Jira) for the crash at startup: CASSANDRA-1904.
