# STARTUP PARAMETERS #
######################
# Uncomment any of the following properties to enable specific startup parameters
# In a multi-instance deployment, multiple Cassandra instances will independently assume that all
# CPU processors are available to it. This setting allows you to specify a smaller set of processors
# and perhaps have affinity.
#-Dcassandra.available_processors=number_of_processors
# The directory location of the cassandra.yaml file.
#-Dcassandra.config=directory
# Sets the initial partitioner token for a node the first time the node is started.
#-Dcassandra.initial_token=token
# Set to false to start Cassandra on a node but not have the node join the cluster.
#-Dcassandra.join_ring=true|false
# Set to false to clear all gossip state for the node on restart. Use when you have changed node
# information in cassandra.yaml (such as listen_address).
#-Dcassandra.load_ring_state=true|false
# Enable pluggable metrics reporter. See Pluggable metrics reporting in Cassandra 2.0.2.
#-Dcassandra.metricsReporterConfigFile=file
# Set the port on which the CQL native transport listens for clients. (Default: 9042)
#-Dcassandra.native_transport_port=port
# Overrides the partitioner. (Default: org.apache.cassandra.dht.Murmur3Partitioner)
#-Dcassandra.partitioner=partitioner
# To replace a node that has died, restart a new node in its place specifying the address of the
# dead node. The new node must not have any data in its data directory, that is, it must be in the
# same state as before bootstrapping.
#-Dcassandra.replace_address=listen_address or broadcast_address of dead node
# Allow restoring specific tables from an archived commit log.
#-Dcassandra.replayList=table
# Allows overriding of the default RING_DELAY (1000ms), which is the amount of time a node waits
# before joining the ring.
#-Dcassandra.ring_delay_ms=ms
# Set the port for the Thrift RPC service, which is used for client connections. (Default: 9160)
#-Dcassandra.rpc_port=port
# Set the SSL port for encrypted communication. (Default: 7001)
#-Dcassandra.ssl_storage_port=port
# Enable or disable the native transport server. See start_native_transport in cassandra.yaml.
# cassandra.start_native_transport=true|false
# Enable or disable the Thrift RPC server. (Default: true)
#-Dcassandra.start_rpc=true/false
# Set the port for inter-node communication. (Default: 7000)
#-Dcassandra.storage_port=port
# Set the default location for the trigger JARs. (Default: conf/triggers)
#-Dcassandra.triggers_dir=directory
# For testing new compaction and compression strategies. It allows you to experiment with different
# strategies and benchmark write performance differences without affecting the production workload.
#-Dcassandra.write_survey=true
# To disable configuration via JMX of auth caches (such as those for credentials, permissions and
# roles). This will mean those config options can only be set (persistently) in cassandra.yaml
# and will require a restart for new values to take effect.
#-Dcassandra.disable_auth_caches_remote_configuration=true

# GENERAL JVM SETTINGS #
########################
# enable assertions. disabling this in production will give a modest
# performance benefit (around 5%).
-ea
# enable thread priorities, primarily so we can give periodic tasks
# a lower priority to avoid interfering with client workload
-XX:+UseThreadPriorities
# allows lowering thread priority without being root on linux - probably
# not necessary on Windows but doesn't harm anything.
# see http://tech.stolsvik.com/2010/01/linux-java-thread-priorities-workar
-XX:ThreadPriorityPolicy=42
# Enable heap-dump if there's an OOM

# Per-thread stack size.

# Larger interned string table, for gossip's benefit (CASSANDRA-6410)
-XX:StringTableSize=1000003
# Make sure all memory is faulted and zeroed on startup.
# This helps prevent soft faults in containers and makes
# transparent hugepage allocation more effective.
-XX:+AlwaysPreTouch
# Disable biased locking as it does not benefit Cassandra.
-XX:-UseBiasedLocking
# Enable thread-local allocation blocks and allow the JVM to automatically
# resize them at runtime.
-XX:+UseTLAB
-XX:+ResizeTLAB
# http://www.evanjones.ca/jvm-mmap-pause.html
-XX:+PerfDisableSharedMem
# Prefer binding to IPv4 network intefaces (when net.ipv6.bindv6only=1). See

#################
# HEAP SETTINGS #
#################
# Heap size is automatically calculated by cassandra-env based on this
# formula: max(min(1/2 ram, 1024MB), min(1/4 ram, 8GB))
# That is:
# - calculate 1/2 ram and cap to 1024MB
# - calculate 1/4 ram and cap to 8192MB
# - pick the max
#
# For production use you may wish to adjust this for your environment.
# If that's the case, uncomment the -Xmx and Xms options below to override the
# automatic calculation of JVM heap memory.
#
# It is recommended to set min (-Xms) and max (-Xmx) heap sizes to
# the same value to avoid stop-the-world GC pauses during resize, and
# so that we can lock the heap in memory on startup to prevent any
# of it from being swapped out.
-Xms32G
-Xmx32G
# Young generation size is automatically calculated by cassandra-env
# based on this formula: min(100 * num_cores, 1/4 * heap size)
#
# The main trade-off for the young generation is that the larger it
# is, the longer GC pause times will be. The shorter it is, the more
# expensive GC will be (usually).
#
# It is not recommended to set the young generation size if using the
# G1 GC, since that will override the target pause-time goal.
# More info: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/g1gc-1984535.html
#
# The example below assumes a modern 8-core+ machine for decent
# times. If in doubt, and if you do not particularly want to tweak, go
# 100 MB per physical CPU core.

-XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=350
