Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-2848:
---------------------------------------------
The problem with that is, it removes request backpressure control from the
server, leaving it vulnerable to bad client behavior.
> Make the Client API support passing down timeouts

> Key: CASSANDRA-2848
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2848
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Chris Goffinet
> Priority: Minor
>
> Having a max server RPC timeout is good for worst case, but many applications
> that have middleware in front of Cassandra, might have higher timeout
> requirements. In a fail fast environment, if my application starting at say
> the front-end, only has 20ms to process a request, and it must connect to X
> services down the stack, by the time it hits Cassandra, we might only have
> 10ms. I propose we provide the ability to specify the timeout on each call we
> do optionally.
