--------------------------------------
Summary: Make PasswordAuthenticator number of hashing rounds
configurable
Key: CASSANDRA-8085
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8085
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core
Reporter: Tyler Hobbs
Assignee: Aleksey Yeschenko
Fix For: 2.0.11, 2.1.1
Running 2^10 rounds of bcrypt can take a while. In environments (like PHP)
where connections are not typically long-lived, authenticating can add
substantial overhead. On IRC, one user saw the time to connect, authenticate,
and execute a query jump from 5ms to 150ms with authentication enabled ([debug
logs|http://pastebin.com/bSUufbr0]).
CASSANDRA-7715 is a more complete fix for this, but in the meantime (and even
after 7715), this is a good option.
