Hi,

I'm seeing some strange behavior of the memtables, both in 1.2.13 and 2.0.7, 
basically it looks like it's using 10x less memory than it should based on the 
documentation and options.


10GB heap for both clusters.

1.2.x should use 1/3 of the heap for memtables, but it uses max ~300mb before 
flushing


2.0.7, same but 1/4 and ~250mb


In the 2.0.7 cluster I set the memtable_total_space_in_mb to 4096, which then 
allowed cassandra to use up to ~400mb for memtables...


I'm now running with 20480 for memtable_total_space_in_mb and cassandra is 
using ~2GB for memtables.


Soo, off by 10 somewhere? Has anyone else seen this? Can't find a JIRA for any 
bug connected to this.

java 1.7.0_55, JNA 4.1.0 (for the 2.0 cluster)
