We're running largely default settings, with the exception of shard (1) and replica (0-n) counts and EC2-related snitch etc. No row caching at all. The logs never showed the same kind of entries pre-OOM, it basically occurred out of the blue.
However, it seems that the problem has now subsided after forcing a compaction (using LeveledCompaction) that took several hours. Not sure if that's a permanent solution yet, but things are looking good so far.
