Hi everyone. I have a few sstables with around 500 million keys, and memory usage has grown a lot, I suppose because of the indexes. This sstables are comprised of skinny rows, but a lot of them. Would tuning index interval make the memory usage go down? And what would the performance hit be?
I had to up heap from 5GB to 8GB and tune memtable thresholds way lower than what I was using with less data. I'm running 0.7.5 in a 6 machine cluster with RF=3. HW is quad core intel machines with 16GB ram, and md raid0 on three sata disks. Thanks all for your time!
