Hi Ben,

I think the degraded mode is caused by one or both of these...
        • WARN  [main] 2016-06-10 14:23:01,690 StartupChecks.java:118 - 
jemalloc shared library could not be preloaded to speed up memory allocations
        • WARN  [main] 2016-06-10 14:23:01,691 StartupChecks.java:150 - JMX is 
not enabled to receive remote connections. Please see cassandra-env.sh for more 
info.
...neither of which should cause the heap issue.

The disk space isn't low for our (test) usage and again shouldn't cause the 
heap issue.

Which leaves the large partition. I couldn't find what is considered a large 
partition. Is it possible that syncing the large partition is causing problems? 
Why would it only affect the new node, not the running ones?

I looked at increasing the heap space but after reviewing the docs, the current 
settings look correct for the machines.

All the nodes are running on VMs with 2 cores and 4gig RAM. Neither they nor 
the hypervisor are showing much load.

Thanks for your help,
Tobin
