A couple of guesses: - are you mixing versions of Cassandra? Streaming differences between versions might throw this error. That is, are you bulk loading with one version of Cassandra into a cluster that's a different version? - (shot in the dark) is your cluster overwhelmed for some reason?
If the temp dir hasn't been cleaned up yet, you are able to retry, fwiw.
