We are currently running on 1.1.10 and planning to migrate to a higher version 1.2.4.
The question pertains to tweaking all the knobs to reduce GC related issues ( we have been fighting a lot of really bad GC issues on 1.1.10 and met with little success all the way using 1.1.10) Taking into consideration GC tuning is a black art, I was wondering if we can have some good effect on the GC by tweaking the following settings: *thrift_framed_transport_size_in_mb & thrift_max_message_length_in_mb* * * Our system is a very short column (both in number of columns and data sizes ) tables but having millions/billions of rows in each column family. The typical number of columns in each column family is 4. The typical lookup involves specifying the row key and fetching one column most of the times. The writes are also similar except for one keyspace where the number of columns are 50 but very small data sizes per column. Assuming we can tweak the config values : * * * > thrift_framed_transport_size_in_mb & * * > thrift_max_message_length_in_mb * to lower values in the above context, I was wondering if it helps in the GC being invoked less if the thrift settings reflect our data model reads and writes ? For example: What is the impact by reducing the above config values on the GC to say 1 mb rather than say 15 or 16 ? Thanks a lot for your inputs and thoughts. Regards, Ananth
