Brandon Williams updated CASSANDRA-8086: ---------------------------------------- Fix Version/s: 2.0.13 > Cassandra should have ability to limit the number of native connections > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-8086 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8086 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Vishy Kasar > Assignee: Norman Maurer > Fix For: 2.1.3, 2.0.13 > > Attachments: > 0001-CASSANDRA-8086-Allow-to-limit-the-number-of-native-c-2.0.patch, > 0001-CASSANDRA-8086-Allow-to-limit-the-number-of-native-c.patch, > 0001-CASSANDRA-8086-Allow-to-limit-the-number-of-native-c.txt > > > We have a production cluster with 72 instances spread across 2 DCs. We have a > large number ( ~ 40,000 ) of clients hitting this cluster. Client normally > connects to 4 cassandra instances. Some event (we think it is a schema change > on server side) triggered the client to establish connections to all > cassandra instances of local DC. This brought the server to its knees. The > client connections failed and client attempted re-connections. > Cassandra should protect itself from such attack from client. Do we have any > knobs to control the number of max connections? If not, we need to add that > knob. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
