Honza :
I've build a new cluster with cassandra 3.11.3, filled it with data from old cluster with cassandra 2.0.14 and few hours after switching application to this new cluster I've got memory errors:

Now, I seriously hope that cassandra 3.11.3 is able to handle the same load as 2.0.14 with twice as much memory (the previous cluster used 4GB RAM, this one 7.5GB) so I assume I've set up something incorrectly. Unless the mistake was starting to use vnodes.
The command line which includes the memory setting is

Is there some other info I should provide? .. oh, the cluster is small, just two machines.
Chris Lohfink :
5gb heaps (-Xmx5120M) are lower than the minimum recommended heap size of 8gb. While you can probably tune it to make it work the database is not designed with its defaults to run in that limited of a heap. Probably the fastest and most likely way to help is to set concurrent_reads and concurrent_writes to 8 or 4. Then concurrent_compactors and concurrent_validations (if more recent version) to 1.
If you set the -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError and -XX:HeapDumpPath=/somewhere/writable then on the OOM it will dump the heap and you can open it up and see what is cause. If you get it you can post heap histogram (using jmap on the dump) and people may be able to give more direction - but it may require actually poking around with a tool like yourkit or MAT to know exact cause.
If thats a deadend you can use async profiler
sudo -u [cassandra user] profiler.sh -e alloc -d 60 [cassandra pid]
or sjk
sudo -u [cassandra user] java -jar sjk.jar hh -p [cassandra pid] --dead-young
to get an idea of what objects are getting generated over time.
