Hi all,
Quick question
I currently am looking at a 4 node cluster and I have currently stopped all
writing to
Cassandra, with the reads continuing. I'm trying to understand the utilization
of memory within the JVM. nodetool info on each of the nodes shows them all
growing in footprint, 2 of the three at a greater rate. On the restart of
Cassandra
each were at about 100MB, after 2 days, each of the following are at:
Heap Memory (MB) : 798.41 / 3052.00
Heap Memory (MB) : 370.44 / 3052.00
Heap Memory (MB) : 549.73 / 3052.00
Heap Memory (MB) : 481.89 / 3052.00

What I'm not sure of is what the growth is different between each ? and why
that growth is being created by activity that is read only.
Is Cassandra caching and holding the read data ?
I currently have caching turned off for the key/row. Also as part of the info
command
Key Cache : size 0 (bytes), capacity 0 (bytes), 0 hits, 0 requests, NaN
recent hit rate, 14400 save period in seconds
Row Cache : size 0 (bytes), capacity 0 (bytes), 0 hits, 0 requests, NaN
recent hit rate, 0 save period in seconds
Thanks,
Jim
