Hi Behroz, It looks like the number of tables is the problem, with 5,000 - 10,000 tables, that is way above the recommendations.
Take a look here: https://docs.datastax.com/en/dse-planning/doc/planning/planningAntiPatterns.html#planningAntiPatterns__AntiPatTooManyTables <https://docs.datastax.com/en/dse-planning/doc/planning/planningAntiPatterns.html#planningAntiPatterns__AntiPatTooManyTables> This suggests that 5-10GB of heap is going to be taken up just with the table information ( 1MB per table ) Thanks Paul > On 29 Jan 2020, at 14:50, Behroz Sikander <bsikan...@apache.org> wrote: > >>> Some environment details like Cassandra version, amount of physical RAM, > JVM configs (heap and others), and any other non-default cassandra.yaaml > configs would help.
