1) Why is the default 4GB? Has anyone changed this? What are some aspects to consider when determining the commitlog size?
2) If the commitlog is in periodic mode, there is a property to set a time interval to flush the incoming mutations to disk. This implies that there is a queue inside Cassandra to hold this data in memory until it is flushed. a. Is there a name for this queue? b. Is there a limit for this queue? c. Are there any tuning parameters for this queue? Thanks, Parag
