The description references Cassandra explicitly, which is why I wondered. But then, his comments down the JIRA mention normal vs. exponential distribution, which means he must certainly be aware of the subtleties. > Also, note that it won't replace the current mechanism with phi accrual, but > it will enable the use of phi accrual. I'd certainly like to experiment with it at some point. Phi enables the distinction between "slowing down" and "most likely broken", which is an interesting feature. It isn't clear from the JIRA if someone is working on the C client, though. Do you know if there's any conversation regarding this? -- Gustavo Niemeyer http://niemeyer.net http://niemeyer.net/blog http://niemeyer.net/twitter
