>
> Today only a keyspace based request scheduler exists.
> Post CASSANDRA-4898 it could be possible to implement a request_scheduler
> based on users (from system_auth.credentials) rather than keyspaces. This
> could offer a finer granularity of control, from read-only vs read-write
> users on keyspaces, to application dedicated vs ad-hoc users. Alternatively
> it could also offer a granularity larger and easier to work with than per
> keyspace.
> The request scheduler is a useful concept but i think that setups with enough
> nodes often favour separate clusters rather than either creating separate
> virtual datacenters or using the request scheduler. To give the request
> scheduler another, and more flexible, implementation could especially help
> those users that don't yet have enough nodes to warrant separate clusters, or
> even separate virtual datacenters. On such smaller clusters cassandra can
> still be seen as an unstable technology because poor consumers/schemas can
> easily affect, even bring down, a whole cluster.
> I haven't look into the feasibility of this within the code, but it comes to
> mind as rather simple, and i would be interested in offering a patch if the
> idea carries validity.
