What does your data and data model look like - partition size, rows per partition, number of columns per row, any large values/blobs in column values?
You could run fine on an 8GB system, but only if your rows and partitions are reasonably small. Any large partitions could blow you away. -- Jack Krupansky On Fri, Jul 10, 2015 at 4:22 AM, Kunal Gangakhedkar <kgangakhed...@gmail.com > wrote: > Attaching the stack dump captured from the last OOM. > > Kunal > > On 10 July 2015 at 13:32, Kunal Gangakhedkar <kgangakhed...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Forgot to mention: the data size is not that big - it's barely 10GB in >> all. >> >> Kunal >> >> On 10 July 2015 at 13:29, Kunal Gangakhedkar <kgangakhed...@gmail.com> >> wrote: >> >>> Hi, >>> >>> I have a 2 node setup on Azure (east us region) running Ubuntu server >>> 14.04LTS. >>> Both nodes have 8GB RAM. >>> >>> One of the nodes (seed node) died with OOM - so, I am trying to add a >>> replacement node with same configuration. >>> >>> The problem is this new node also keeps dying with OOM - I've restarted >>> the cassandra service like 8-10 times hoping that it would finish the >>> replication.
