Having battled similar issues with read latency recently, here's some
general things to look out for.

- At 118ms, something is definitely broken. You should be looking at
under 10ms or lower, depending on hardware.
- Do "nodetool info" on all 5 nodes. Is the load distributed evenly?
Is it reasonable (under 500GB)?
- Make sure you aren't running low on heap space. You could see that
from "nodetool info" also. If you are running low, very bad things
begin to happen (lots of GC, constant flushing of Memtables, reduction
of Key Cache, etc). Generally, once there, the node doesn't recover,
and read latency goes to sh*t.
- Which compaction strategy are you using? Leveled compactions or
size-tiered? There's different issues with both.
- Is your Key Cache turned on? What's the Key Cache hit rate?
- Is the Read Latency the same on all nodes? Or just one in particular?
- Are pending compactions building up?
- What's %util on disk? Same on all nodes?

I would go through "nodetool cfstats, info, compactionstats, tpstats",
and see if things are roughly the same across all the nodes. You could
also just be under capacity, but more likely, there's an actual
problem looming somewhere.

Cheers!
