Jeremy Hanna commented on CASSANDRA-8969:
-----------------------------------------
Not to bikeshed too much but what do you think of making it a little more
explicit?
{quote}
+# For this reason, you should avoid putting these settings too high. Of course
+# putting them too low is equally ill-advised since clients could get timeouts
even
+# for successful operations just because the timeout setting is too tight.
+# In other words, if you are timing out requests because of underlying
resource constraints
+# then increasing the timeout will just cause more problems.

> It would be helpful to communicate that setting the rpc timeouts too high may
> cause memory problems on the server as it can become overloaded and has to
> retain the in flight requests in memory. I'll get this done but just adding
> the ticket as a placeholder for memory.
