>                 Key: CASSANDRA-1663
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1663
>             Project: Cassandra
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>            Reporter: Dave Revell
>            Priority: Minor

> It would be nice to allow configuration of the Thrift server socket's listen backlog size. The current limit is sometimes reached on my servers. I believe Thrift uses the ServerSocket default, which is 50 pending sockets.
> This might be able to merge with CASSANDRA-1405, which also involves thrift socket changes.
> When connection volume is high, Cassandra fails to accept some connections because the socket listen backlog is full. This happens to about 0.1% of connections in my case. System load and IO are very low, so this does not seem to be a capacity problem.
> Helpful tip: on my Centos 5 box with kernel 2.6.18, the kernel exposes the number of socket listen queue overflows in netstat. You can do e.g.:
> {noformat}
> # netstat -s | grep 'listen queue'
>     123 times the listen queue of a socket overflowed
> {noformat}
