# Maximum size of the key cache in memory.
#
# Each key cache hit saves 1 seek and each row cache hit saves 2 seeks at the
# minimum, sometimes more. The key cache is fairly tiny for the amount of
# time it saves, so it's worthwhile to use it at large numbers.
# The row cache saves even more time, but must contain the entire row,
# so it is extremely space-intensive. It's best to only use the
# row cache if you have hot rows or static rows.
#
# NOTE: if you reduce the size, you may not get you hottest keys loaded on startup.
#
# Default value is empty to make it "auto" (min(5% of Heap (in MB), 100MB)). Set to 0 to disable key cache.
key_cache_size_in_mb:
# Duration in seconds after which Cassandra should
# save the key cache. Caches are saved to saved_caches_directory as
# specified in this configuration file.
#
# Saved caches greatly improve cold-start speeds, and is relatively cheap in
# terms of I/O for the key cache. Row cache saving is much more expensive and
# has limited use.
#
# Default is 14400 or 4 hours.

# Row cache implementation class name.
# Available implementations:
# org.apache.cassandra.cache.OHCProvider Fully off-heap row cache implementation (default).
# org.apache.cassandra.cache.SerializingCacheProvider This is the row cache implementation availabile
# in previous releases of Cassandra.
# row_cache_class_name: org.apache.cassandra.cache.OHCProvider
# Maximum size of the row cache in memory.
# Please note that OHC cache implementation requires some additional off-heap memory to manage
# the map structures and some in-flight memory during operations before/after cache entries can be
# accounted against the cache capacity. This overhead is usually small compared to the whole capacity.
# Do not specify more memory that the system can afford in the worst usual situation and leave some
# headroom for OS block level cache. Do never allow your system to swap.
#
# Default value is 0, to disable row caching.

# Maximum size of the counter cache in memory.
#
# Counter cache helps to reduce counter locks' contention for hot counter cells.
# In case of RF = 1 a counter cache hit will cause Cassandra to skip the read before
# write entirely. With RF > 1 a counter cache hit will still help to reduce the duration
# of the lock hold, helping with hot counter cell updates, but will not allow skipping
# the read entirely. Only the local (clock, count) tuple of a counter cell is kept
# in memory, not the whole counter, so it's relatively cheap.
#
# NOTE: if you reduce the size, you may not get you hottest keys loaded on startup.
#
# Default value is empty to make it "auto" (min(2.5% of Heap (in MB), 50MB)). Set to 0 to disable counter cache.
# NOTE: if you perform counter deletes and rely on low gcgs, you should disable the counter cache.

# commitlog_sync may be either "periodic" or "batch."
#
# When in batch mode, Cassandra won't ack writes until the commit log
# has been fsynced to disk. It will wait
# commitlog_sync_batch_window_in_ms milliseconds between fsyncs.
# This window should be kept short because the writer threads will
# be unable to do extra work while waiting. (You may need to increase
# concurrent_writes for the same reason.)
