Is the data still physically on node 1 ? During start up does it log about opening the SSTables ? Another sometimes problem is if the schema is out of sync, and node 1 may not have all the CF's and will not have opened the SSTables. Check the logs and check if the physical data is there. Ch

TransportException when storing large values
