Jay Patel commented on CASSANDRA-7882:
--------------------------------------

Sure. Pls. assign it to me. I think better to have a on/off option initially, and then we can make it on by default if it is promising for all kind of use cases, not just high # of tables.

> CASSANDRA-5935 allows option to disable region-based allocation for on-heap memtables but there is no option to disable it for off-heap memtables (memtable_allocation_type: offheap_objects). 
> Disabling region-based allocation will allow us to pack more tables in the schema since minimum of 1MB region won't be allocated per table. Downside can be more fragmentation which should be controllable by using better allocator like JEMalloc.
> How about below option in yaml?:
> memtable_allocation_type: unslabbed_offheap_objects
> Thanks.
