Re: Unreliable transport layer
So, do you think it will be problematic on a large scale? If yes is it configurable in 0.6? On Sat, Mar 6, 2010 at 6:19 PM, Avinash Lakshman wrote: > We have observed this.

Re: Unreliable transport layer
We have observed this. But in practice it doesn't cause any deleterious effects. IMHO detecting false failures of nodes is the most dangerous thing that could result from this kind of behavior. But that is why we have an Accrual FD which reacts and adjusts to these conditions. But having said that moving TCP is not a bad option at all at relatively small scale.

Re: Unreliable transport layer
In 0.6 gossip is over TCP. On Fri, Mar 5, 2010 at 6:54 PM, Ashwin Jayaprakash wrote: > Hey guys! I have a simple question. I'm a casual observer, not a real > Cassandra user yet.
