Jeremy Hanna commented on CASSANDRA-8969: ----------------------------------------- Sorry about the lag in responsiveness on my part. The idea was that if you set it to 2x, then you could potentially have 2x in-flight requests being kept in memory on the server in cases where requests get queued up. I think that's not immediately obvious to people who increase it to just avoid client-side timeouts. > Add indication in cassandra.yaml that rpc timeouts going too high will cause > memory build up > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-8969 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8969 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Configuration > Reporter: Jeremy Hanna > Assignee: Jeremy Hanna > Priority: Minor > Labels: lhf > Fix For: 3.x > > Attachments: 8969.txt > > > It would be helpful to communicate that setting the rpc timeouts too high may > cause memory problems on the server as it can become overloaded and has to > retain the in flight requests in memory. I'll get this done but just adding > the ticket as a placeholder for memory. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
