  # Cassandra provides three options for the RPC Server:
  #
  # sync  -> One connection per thread in the rpc pool (see below).
  #          For a very large number of clients, memory will be your limiting
  #          factor; on a 64 bit JVM, 128KB is the minimum stack size per thread.
  #          Connection pooling is very, very strongly recommended.
  #
  # async -> Nonblocking server implementation with one thread to serve 
  #          rpc connections.  This is not recommended for high throughput use
  #          cases. Async has been tested to be about 50% slower than sync
  #          or hsha and is deprecated: it will be removed in the next major release.
  #
  # hsha  -> Stands for "half synchronous, half asynchronous." The rpc thread pool 
  #          (see below) is used to manage requests, but the threads are multiplexed
  #          across the different clients.
  #
  # The default is sync because on Windows hsha is about 30% slower.  On Linux,
  # sync/hsha performance is about the same, with hsha of course using less memory.
  rpc_server_type: sync
  
  # Uncomment rpc_min|max|thread to set request pool size.
  # You would primarily set max for the sync server to safeguard against
  # misbehaved clients; if you do hit the max, Cassandra will block until one
  # disconnects before accepting more.  The defaults for sync are min of 16 and max
  # unlimited.
  # 
  # For the Hsha server, the min and max both default to quadruple the number of
  # CPU cores.
  #
  # This configuration is ignored by the async server.
  #
  # rpc_min_threads: 16
  # rpc_max_threads: 2048
