There is a forced flusher that kicks in when your heap becomes full.
Look for log lines from GCInspector.
There is a bug that prevents flushing memtable when it has only full key
delete mutations, see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3741
For me it happened when we've started to mo
I have increased index_interval. Will let you know if I see a difference.
My theory is that memtables are not getting flushed. If I manually
flush them, the heap consumption goes down drastically.
I think when memtable_total_space_in_mb is exceeded not enough
memtables are getting flushed. There
Hello.
There is also a primary row index. It's space can be controlled with
index_interval setting. Don't know if you can look for it's memory usage
somewhere. If I where you, I'd take jmap tool and examine heap histogram
first, heap dump second.

I have both row cache and column cache disabled for all my CFs.
cfstats says "Bloom Filter Space Used: 1760" per CF. Assuming it is in
bytes, it is total of about 9MB of bloom filter size for 5K CFs; which
is not a lot.

Hello.
From my experience it's unwise to make many column families for same
keys because you will have bloom filters and row indexes multiplied. If
you have 5000, you should expect your heap requirements multiplied by
same factor. Also check your cache sizes. Default AFAIR is 10 keys

ok, the last thread says that 1.0+ onwards, thousands of CFs should
not be a problem.
But I am finding that all the allocated heap memory is getting consumed.
I started with 8GB heap and then on reading

How many Column Families are one too many for Cassandra ?
I created a db with 5000 CFs (I can go into the reasons later) but the
latency seems to be very erratic now. Not sure if it is because of the
number of CFs.
Thanks.
