Christian Spriegel commented on CASSANDRA-7886:
-----------------------------------------------
Hi [~slebresne], I finally had the time to port my patch to trunk and add error
handling to the ErrorMessage class.
Thrift and "CQL protocol 3" will get an Unavailable error instead of my new
READ_FAILURE. CQL protocol >= 4 will get the new READ_FAILURE.
It seems there is no CQL protcol 4 yet, so my code always returns Unavailable
at the moment.
Let me know if I you want me to improve anything.

> *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.
