--------------------------------------
Summary: Cassandra should have ability to limit the number of
native connections
Key: CASSANDRA-8086
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8086
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Vishy Kasar
Assignee: sankalp kohli
We have a production cluster with 72 instances spread across 2 DCs. We have a
large number ( ~ 40,000 ) of clients hitting this cluster. Client normally
connects to 4 cassandra instances. Some event (we think it is a schema change
on server side) triggered the client to establish connections to all cassandra
instances of local DC. This brought the server to its knees. The client
connections failed and client attempted re-connections.
Cassandra should protect itself from such attack from client. Do we have any
knobs to control the number of max connections? If not, we need to add that
knob.
