Yes I didn't see there was 2 different parameters. I was personally setting ( in cassandra 0.6.6 ) MemTableThoughputInMB, but I don't know what BinaryMemtableThroughtputInMB is.
And I take this opportunity to ask a question : If you have a small amount of data per key so that your memtable is maybe a few Ko big. Is the memory footprint of the memtable going to be MemTableThoughputInMB mb or few Ko + overhead ? Ruslan I have seen your question in the other mail and I have the same problem. How many CF do you have ? 2011/2/16 ruslan usifov <ruslan.usi...@gmail.com> > > Each of your 21 column families will have its own memtable if you have >> the default memtable settings your memory usage will grow quite large >> over time.
