Paolo Ragone commented on CASSANDRA-6487:
-----------------------------------------

Hi, I wanted to echo the question from [~martin.grotzke], we're doing a similar 
use in which we're saving an Aggregate as a list of "events" under the 
aggregate key. What this means is that the batch is always limited to 1 key, 
and therefore should be executed exclusively on one node and no intra-node 
communication/dependency should be needed.
This is why I also think that this use should be safe. 

I understand that the warning is just a warning, but better understanding this 
can help shape better use of the Cassandra model.

> Large batches on a coordinator can cause a lot of node stress. I propose 
> adding a WARN log entry if batch sizes go beyond a configurable size. This 
> will give more visibility to operators on something that can happen on the 
> developer side. 
> New yaml setting with 5k default.
> {{# Log WARN on any batch size exceeding this value. 5k by default.}}
> {{# Caution should be taken on increasing the size of this threshold as it 
> can lead to node instability.}}
> {{batch_size_warn_threshold: 5k}}
