Christian Spriegel updated CASSANDRA-7886:
------------------------------------------
    Description: 
*Issue*
When you have TombstoneOverwhelmingExceptions occuring in queries, this will 
cause the query to be simply dropped on every data-node, but no response is 
sent back to the coordinator. Instead the coordinator waits for the specified 
read_request_timeout_in_ms.

On the application side this can cause memory issues, since the application is 
waiting for the timeout interval for every request.Therefore, if our 
application runs into TombstoneOverwhelmingExceptions, then (sooner or later) 
our entire application cluster goes down :-(

*Proposed solution*
I think the data nodes should send a error message to the coordinator when they 
run into a TombstoneOverwhelmingException. Then the coordinator does not have 
to wait for the timeout-interval.
