Description
We have a prolonged batch processing job.
It writes a lot of records, every batch mutation creates probably on average 300-500 columns per row key (with many disparate row keys).
It works fine but within a few hours we get error like this:

The server already has 16 GB heap, which we hear is the max Cassandra can run with. The writes are heavily multi-threaded from a single server.
The jist of the issue is that Cassandra should not crash with OOM when under heavy load. It is OK to slow down, even maybe start throwing operation timeout exceptions, etc.
But to just crash in the middle of the processing should not be allowed.
is there any internal monitoring of heap usage in Cassandra where it could detect that it is getting close to the heap limit and start throttling the incoming requests to avoid this type of error?
Thanks
