Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-3997:
-------------------------------------------

I don't understand the goal here.  What is the value in allowing the use of malloc implementations that cause segfaults? :)

> Serializing cache uses native malloc and free by making FM pluggable, users will have a choice of gcc malloc, TCMalloc or JEMalloc as needed. 
> Initial tests shows less fragmentation in JEMalloc but the only issue with it is that (both TCMalloc and JEMalloc) are kind of single threaded (at-least they crash in my test otherwise).
