There is in 1.0: commitlog_total_space_in_mb, added in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2427. Until then you'll have to make sure that you're flushing often enough to keep the space down. memtable_flush_after [minutes] can help with that. If you're running 0.8.x, also make sure you're running >= 0.8.3 to make sure https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2829 isn't making things worse. -- Jonathan Ellis Project Chair, Apache Cassandra co-founder of DataStax, the source for professional Cassandra support http://www.datastax.com
