             Summary: Confusing timeout on CAS contention
                 Key: CASSANDRA-7822
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7822
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: sankalp kohli
            Priority: Minor


If we have contention in CAS and we hit the cas contention timeout, we throw an 
exception. In this timeout exception, we pass that 0 replicas responded. This 
is very confusing to someone looking at the client logs. I think we might need 
to throw a separate exception for contention or may be add a flag in the 
timeout exception. 
We have seen many people confused by this so I think we should fix it. 

This is how we throw it on contention. 

throw new WriteTimeoutException(WriteType.CAS, consistencyForPaxos, 0, 
consistencyForPaxos.blockFor(Keyspace.open(keyspaceName)));
