For start:
- check (cassandra-env.sh) -Xss size, you may need to increase it for your JVM;
- check (cassandra-env.sh) -Xms and -Xmx size, you may need to increase it for 
your data load/bloom filter/index sizes.

Subject: Error during startup - java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create 
new native thread [heur]


I have a 5 node cluster with a load of around 300GB each. A node went down and 
does not come up. I can see the following exception in the logs.

ERROR [main] 2013-09-09 21:50:56,117 AbstractCassandraDaemon.java (line 139) 
Fatal exception in thread Thread[main,5,main]

The ulimit -u output is
515042
Which is far more than what is recommended [1] (10240) and I am skeptical to 
set it to unlimited as recommended here [2]
Any pointers as to what could be the issue and how to get the node up.
