Sergey Tryuber commented on CASSANDRA-4768:
-------------------------------------------
Brandon, you're right. But we're talking about the period of time we can rely
on hinted handoff. If there is only one configuration option, we must set it up
considering the worst case: lack of cross datacenter connectivity. Because in
that case a lot of hints will be saved. For local DC (one-two node failures in
most of the cases) not as many data will be saved as hints. So larger window
size can be configured (and admins can sleep well at nights or maintain servers
without being in a hurry).
I understand that Cassandra is well known as "easy to set up" (despite of
HBase). So may be we can add this option as a "hidden" with only one default
value in cassandra.yaml for both windows (the same approach is used by Hadoop,
Hive and HBase).

> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 1.1.2
> Reporter: Alexey Zotov
> Assignee: Alexey Zotov
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: configuration, hintedhandoff
> Fix For: 1.1.6, 1.2.0

> It would be nice to have possibility to configure hint window size for remote
> dc separately. It will allow to prevent accumulating of big amount of data
> for remote dc and long hints delivery as the result of it.
> I suggest to add max_hint_window_for_remote_dc_in_ms option.
