------------------------------------------------------------------------

[~slebresne]: Customer keep sending in requests. So if cassandra suddenly 
decides to make every request wait for 15 sec. (config increased) then we run 
out of heap, because requests pile up :-(

As a workaround we can probably decrease the timeout setting, but the behaviour 
should be changed imho.

Can we set fixversion to 3.0 already so that this ticket wont be forgotten?

edit: Thanks for the fast response :-)

>             Project: Cassandra
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Core

>            Priority: Minor

> *Issue*
> When you have TombstoneOverwhelmingExceptions occuring in queries, this will 
> cause the query to be simply dropped on every data-node, but no response is 
> sent back to the coordinator. Instead the coordinator waits for the specified 
> read_request_timeout_in_ms.
> On the application side this can cause memory issues, since the application 
> is waiting for the timeout interval for every request.Therefore, if our 
> application runs into TombstoneOverwhelmingExceptions, then (sooner or later) 
> our entire application cluster goes down :-(
> *Proposed solution*
> I think the data nodes should send a error message to the coordinator when 
> they run into a TombstoneOverwhelmingException. Then the coordinator does not 
> have to wait for the timeout-interval.
