nijel created ZOOKEEPER-2238: -------------------------------- Summary: Support limiting the maximum number of connections/clients to a zookeeper server. Key: ZOOKEEPER-2238 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2238 Project: ZooKeeper Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: nijel
Currently zookeeper have the feature of limiting the maximum number of connection/client per IP or Host (maxClientCnxns). But to safe guard zookeeper server from DoS attack due to many clients from different IPs, it is better to have a limit of total number of connections/clients to a a single member of the ZooKeeper ensemble as well. So the idea is to introduce a new configuration to limit the maximum number of total connections/clients. Please share your thoughts. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
