Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-401:
------------------------------------------

02
    clean out unused code from MessagingService. Inline sink processing into 
sendOneWay instead of having another exe
    this sets the stage for backpressuring the client, should we choose to do 
that

01
    support multiple flush threads safely.  automatically use up to avaiable 
core count threads for
    flushing.  pause updates when too many unflushed memtables are generated.

Note that I'm not actually adding backpressure here: on further thought, it 
seems like the worst of both worlds.  No matter what we do on the sending side, 
we can't tell ahead of time if the receiving node is going to start blocking 
while waiting to apply the mutation.  So backpressure would mean having to deal 
with both UnavailableException, and potentially unbounded wait times.  Without 
it we just have to deal w/ the former case.
