On the cassandra.apache website we talk about a way to improve back pressure. (https://cassandra.apache.org/blog/Improving-Apache-Cassandras-Front-Door-and-Backpressure.html)
It is related to CASSANDRA-15013. There they talk about a setting THROW_ON_OVERLOADED which should be set to true, in order for the node to throw OverloadedException.
How/Where can we set the THROW_ON_OVERLOADED property with the DataStax java-driver?
The Java driver won't be adopting THROW_ON_OVERLOAD as a startup option but instead gracefully handle the backpressure in JAVA-2589 when it gets implemented.
The idea is for the driver to stop sending requests when Netty's Channel#isWritable() returns false and wait for channelWritabilityChanged() before sending requests again.
This means that configuring the client startup option will not be required. Cheers!
