Tuning cluster heartbeat retries to a lower value reduces the time to detect failure but increases the risk of a false failure because of a transient problem (such as an overloaded CPU). Tuning cluster heartbeat retries to a larger value reduces the risk of a false failure but increases the time needed to detect a failure.
