Ariel Weisberg commented on CASSANDRA-9237: ------------------------------------------- One of my get out of jail free ideas was to use SCTP on the large message connection. Large messages might not notice any overhead from SCTP. SCTP and the implementation in OpenJDK is kind of an unknown though. SCTP allegedly handles head of line blocking issues. Disadvantage is that I don't see a way to upgrade a connection to SCTP after the fact, it would require an additional listening port, and it doesn't have an old IO implementation. > Gossip messages subject to head of line blocking by other intra-cluster > traffic > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-9237 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9237 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Ariel Weisberg > Assignee: Ariel Weisberg > > Reported as an issue over less than perfect networks like VPNs between data > centers. > Gossip goes over the small message socket where small is 64k which isn't > particularly small. This is done for performance to keep most traffic on one > hot socket. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
