Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-9318: ------------------------------------------- Yes. My point is that if we start by not accepting more than we can handle coordinator-side we (a) improve things immediately by a nontrivial amount and (b) we will have more clarity on what needs to be done replica-side. (I don't think it's clear at all whether we will need better load shedding, actual cross-network backpressure, or something else.) > Bound the number of in-flight requests at the coordinator > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-9318 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9318 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Ariel Weisberg > Assignee: Ariel Weisberg > Fix For: 2.1.x, 2.2.x > > > It's possible to somewhat bound the amount of load accepted into the cluster > by bounding the number of in-flight requests and request bytes. > An implementation might do something like track the number of outstanding > bytes and requests and if it reaches a high watermark disable read on client > connections until it goes back below some low watermark. > Need to make sure that disabling read on the client connection won't > introduce other issues. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
