> Recently, our Cassandra 4.0.6 cluster experienced an outage due to a surge in 
> expensive traffic from the application side. This surge involved a large 
> volume of costly read queries, which took a considerable amount of time to 
> process on the server side. The client had timeout settings; if a request 
> timed out, it might trigger the sending of new requests. Since the server 
> nodes were overloaded, numerous nodes had hundreds of thousands of tasks 
> queued in the Native-Transport-Request pending queue. I expected that once 
> the application ceased sending requests, the server node would quickly return 
> to normal, as most requests in the queue were over half an hour old and 
> should have timed out rapidly, clearing the queue. However, it actually took 
> an hour to clear the native transport's pending queue, even with native 
> transport disabled. Upon examining the code, I noticed that for read/write 
> requests, the 
> [queryStartNanoTime|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-4.0/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/transport/Dispatcher.java#L78],
>  which determines if a request has timed out, only begins when the task 
> starts processing. This means that no matter how long a request has been 
> pending, it doesn't contribute to the timeout. I believe this is incorrect. 
> The timer should start when the Cassandra server receives the request or when 
> it enqueues the task, not when the request/task begins processing. This way, 
> an overloaded node with many pending tasks can quickly discard timed-out 
> requests and recover from an outage once new requests stop.
