Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-11082:
----------------------------------------------

So you're saying that we don't have any back-pressure mechanism regarding 
client being too slow at receiving responses (and hence data to send 
accumulating server side)? Am I understanding that correctly?

If so, I suppose that's true or at least I'm not aware of us doing anything 
special to prevent that. And it's a good question as to why we configure the 
high/low watermark given that we never check {{Channel.isWritable()}}: 
[~tjake], you introduced those configuration on CASSANDRA-6861?

With that said, there isn't too much evidence so far that OOM due to clients 
being too slow to receive their responses is very common so lowering the 
priority.

> netty's level hadn't prevent OOM when receiver handle slow.

> as we know, netty will OOM when received client is slow.
> due to  if receiver can't handle response fast so that cassandra server can't 
> flush data. it will cause channeloutbuffer with big size.
> we see the cassandra had configure write high/low water level, but I can't 
> found any code to judge iswritable. so it will have possible OOM
> why cassandra hadn't handle this case?
