We recommend to update to the latest update of Kong (0.9.9) that ships with important bug-fixes, especially if you are using Cassandra.

Updates

    Correctly put Cassandra sockets into the Nginx connection pool for later reuse. This greatly improves the performance for rate-limiting and response-ratelimiting plugins.
    Correct length of a year in seconds for rate-limiting and response-ratelimiting plugins. A year was wrongly assumed to only be 360 days long.
    Prevent misinterpretation of the `%` character in proxied URLs encoding. Thanks Thomas Jouannic for the patch.
