sankalp kohli commented on CASSANDRA-6157: ------------------------------------------ Look at Jonathan comment. "Requires some string parsing in Config, but is backwards compatible without adding a two-layer approach of "turn it on, but turn it back off sometimes."" > Selectively Disable hinted handoff for a data center > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-6157 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6157 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core > Reporter: sankalp kohli > Assignee: sankalp kohli > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.0.6 > > Attachments: super-csv-2.1.0.jar, trunk-6157-v2.diff, > trunk-6157-v3.diff, trunk-6157-v4.diff, trunk-6157-v5.diff, trunk-6157.txt > > > Cassandra supports disabling the hints or reducing the window for hints. > It would be helpful to have a switch which stops hints to a down data center > but continue hints to other DCs. > This is helpful during data center fail over as hints will put more > unnecessary pressure on the DC taking double traffic. Also since now > Cassandra is under reduced reduncany, we don't want to disable hints within > the DC. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
