Paulo Motta commented on CASSANDRA-8611:
----------------------------------------
If we want to be really conservative, how about setitng it to default linux
[tcp_keepalive_time|http://tldp.org/HOWTO/TCP-Keepalive-HOWTO/usingkeepalive.html]
of 7200 seconds (two hours)? Given that I have seen streams hang on EC2 for
tens of hours or even days, this should be sufficient to catch the most extreme
scenarios, while still allowing operators to set it to a lower value if they
want to. If this is too conservative, maybe we can set it to 10-30 minutes.
> give streaming_socket_timeout_in_ms a non-zero default

> Sometimes as mentioned in CASSANDRA-8472 streams will hang. We have
> streaming_socket_timeout_in_ms which can retry after a timeout. It would be
> good to make a default non-zero value. We don't want to paper over problems,
> but streams sometimes hang and you don't want long running streaming
> operations to just fail - as in repairs or bootstraps.
> streaming_socket_timeout_in_ms should be based on the tcp idle timeout so it
> shouldn't be a problem to set it to on the order of minutes. Also the socket
> should only be open during the actual streaming and not during operations
> such as merkle tree generation. We can set it to a conservative value and
> people can set it more aggressively as needed. Disabling as a default, in my
> opinion, is too conservative.
