Jason Brown updated CASSANDRA-8457:
-----------------------------------
    Comment: was deleted

(was: bq. doesn't Netty already have a standard way to deal with that problem of messages piling up in its queues?

Netty has a high/low water mark mechanism that looks at the number of bytes in the channel and sends a "writablility changed" event through channel once one of those thresholds has been reached. I'm currently using that feature to know when we've hit a decent amount of buffered data before we explicitly call flush.

We could expand this to say "if there's greater than <wildly large> number of bytes in the channel, drop older messages")

> Thread-per-peer (actually two each incoming and outbound) is a big contributor to context switching, especially for larger clusters.  Let's look at switching to nio, possibly via Netty.
