Hi - The cassandra.yaml file has property called batch_size_warn_threshold_in_kb. The default size is 5kb and according to the comments in the yaml file, it is used to log WARN on any batch size exceeding this value in kilobytes. It says caution should be taken on increasing the size of this threshold as it can lead to node instability.
Does anybody know the significance of this magic number 5kb? Why would a higher number (say 10kb) lead to node instability? Mohammed
