Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-2176: ------------------------------------------- If we could return an exception then we would make a separate exception class for it. But we can't, because Thrift RPC isn't designed to allow returning anything (an exception is just a special return value over the socket) except in response to a method call. > Add configuration setting to cap the number of Thrift connections > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-2176 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2176 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: API > Reporter: Jonathan Ellis > Assignee: T Jake Luciani > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.7.3 > > Attachments: > 0001-CASSANDRA-2176-limit-connected-clients-and-config.txt > > Original Estimate: 4h > Remaining Estimate: 4h > > At least until CASSANDRA-1405 is done, it's useful to have a connection cap > to prevent misbehaving clients from DOSing the server. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
