We have C* 2.0.9 running on three DCs, with ntpd running to synchronize time. On our local DC we set *cross_node_timeout: true* in cassandra.yaml without problem.
But when we did it in a remote DC we got lots of messages like INFO [ScheduledTasks:1] 2014-09-21 21:26:45,191 MessagingService.java (line 857) 9016 MUTATION messages dropped in last 5000ms Any idea why?
