Joshua McKenzie commented on CASSANDRA-8086:
--------------------------------------------
New patch LGTM. Could I get an updated patch for 2.1 as well? The change from
SimpleChannelUpstreamHandler to ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter necessitates more
than just a straight merge from 2.0.
> Cassandra should have ability to limit the number of native connections

> 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.
