Oh right but Cassandra doesn't really respect that, I thought there was
another option to set that.
Just for your information, I set xms and xmx very low with a small amount of
data. I am waiting to be able to connect jconsole, I don't know why it is
not reachable at the moment. Here is my result :
105 26115 0.2 27.3 1125328 755316 ? Sl Feb09 23:58
/usr/bin/java -ea -Xms64M -Xmx128M
