This section describes some recommended performance tuning configurations to optimize BAM. It assumes that you have set up the BAM server on Unix/Linux, which is recommended for a production deployment. If you have high volume of data with high concurrency, we also recommend you to use a distributed BAM setup. For instructions, see our product deployment and clustering guide.

The values we discuss below are general recommendations only. They might not be the optimal for the specific hardware configurations in your environment. We recommend you to carry out load tests on your environment to tune the BAM accordingly.

Improvement AreaPerformance Recommendations 
BAM data receiver nodes
  • Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
  • Change the /etc/security/limits.conf
    • soft nofile 4096
    • hard nofile 65535
 
BAM analyzer nodesXms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m 
Dashboard nodesXms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m 
Hadoop nodes
  • Recommended OS: Linux
  • At least 10 GB storage capacity in each node
  • At least 100 Mbps network bandwidth
  • Set hadoop.root.logger=ERROR
 
Cassandra nodes
  • Have separate disks for your commit log and data dirs (sstables)
  • Set the Heap memory as follows:

    System memoryHeap size
    Less than 2 GB1/2 of system memory
    2-4 GB1 GB
    More than 4 GB1/4 system memory, but not more than 8GB
  • Set following configuration in cassandra.yaml according to your hardware resources:

    • concurrent_reads: 4 * no of cores
    • concurrent_writes: 8 * no of CPU cores
 
  • No labels
