All,
When I connect to a node through jconsole it's telling me that my max heap
is only 1.7gb. (eg http://screencast.com/t/7DP8ovdUv) However I believe I
have properly specified that it should be 4GB in cassandra-env.sh. Total
memory is 7.5GB
I see greatly increased GC activity as the heap approaches 1.7GB.
Can anyone suggest why the heap might not use all the memory as specified?
