| = jvm-* files |
| |
| Several files for JVM configuration are included in Cassandra. The |
| `jvm-server.options` file, and corresponding files `jvm8-server.options` |
| and `jvm11-server.options` are the main file for settings that affect |
| the operation of the Cassandra JVM on cluster nodes. The file includes |
| startup parameters, general JVM settings such as garbage collection, and |
| heap settings. The `jvm-clients.options` and corresponding |
| `jvm8-clients.options` and `jvm11-clients.options` files can be used to |
| configure JVM settings for clients like `nodetool` and the `sstable` |
| tools. |
| |
| See each file for examples of settings. |

| [NOTE] |
| .Note |
| ==== |
| The `jvm-*` files replace the `cassandra-envsh` file used in Cassandra |
| versions prior to Cassandra 3.0. The `cassandra-env.sh` bash script file |
| is still useful if JVM settings must be dynamically calculated based on |
| system settings. The `jvm-*` files only store static JVM settings. |
