I am using Cassandra 1.1.1 and Using Hector 1.0.5, am trying to insert data (heavy volume) in to a column family. During execution of my program, the cassandra server crashes and displays the Out-of-memory error. After that I am left with no option than quitting the server. This gets repeated for one column family where I am trying to store html file(s) content and I never get a chance to complete it. The html file contents varies from 225 KB data to 700 KB data for one row and I am trying to insert almost 1000 records.
In the program it throws the below
Exception in thread "main" me.prettyprint.hector.api.exceptions.HectorException: All host pools marked down. Retry burden pushed out to client.

This means that you've run out of address space to map commitlog segments into.
Best solution: upgrade to a 64bit JVM.
Worse solution: in cassandra.yaml, set commitlog_segment_size_in_mb and commitlog_total_space_in_mb both to 16.
This isn't the first time this has come up; I've opened https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4422 to improve the defaults.
