Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-4723: ------------------------------------------- +1 > Improve write timeout exceptions > --------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-4723 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4723 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 1.2.0 beta 1 > Reporter: Sylvain Lebresne > Assignee: Sylvain Lebresne > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.2.0 beta 2 > > Attachments: 4723-alternative.txt, 4723.txt, 4723-v2.txt > > > Through the binary protocol (and to a lesser extend in thrift), we now expose > more information with a timeout, so that clients can take the right decision > as far as retrying the operation is concerned. Concerning write timeouts, > there is two places where I think we should improve that a bit: > * regarding batchlog writes: what clients are interested in is to know if the > option was atomic basically. If it was, there is no good reason to retry the > write, otherwise, you should (or at least you know there might be > inconsistencies if you don't). > * we should return a separate exception for counter writes as in that case no > retry should ever be done. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
