> MAX_HEAP_SIZE="6G" > HEAP_NEWSIZE="500M" The new heap feels a little low, I often see 800M as a good number. It depends on the number of cores, but if that's working stick with it.
> key_cache_size_in_mb: 512 Have you run this at the default and checked the cache hit rate using nodetool info ? The default size would be about 300M. > row_cache_size_in_mb: 14336 This is way too high. You've told the JVM to lock in 6GB and then told the row cache it can use 14GB, but you only have 16GB on the node. At some point things are going to go crash, bang, wallop. Set it to 1GB and check the cache hit rate using nodetool info. The remaining memory will be used by the OS to cache disk access. > I have a querry, if Cassandra is using JVM for all operations then why we > need change above parameters separately in cassandra.yaml. The JVM params are passed to the JVM before the server starts and have to be formatted a specific way. The yaml file is much easier for humans to read.
