Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-3017:
---------------------------------------------
I suppose a megabyte would work as a default, but I think we'll need to give
users a knob to turn here since I've heard of 700+ node clusters which would
require nearly 3MB for tokens alone.

> Components: Core

> We protect the server from allocating huge buffers for malformed message with
> the Thrift frame size (CASSANDRA-475). But we don't have similar protection
> for the inter-node Message objects.
> Adding this would be good to deal with malicious adversaries as well as a
> malfunctioning cluster participant.
