I'm running 1.2.3 and have both CQL3 tabels and old school style CFs in my cluster.
I'd had a large insert job running the last several days which just ended.... it had been inserting using cql3 insert statements in a cql3 table. Now, I show no compactions going on in my cluster but for some reason any cql3 query I try to execute, insert, select, through cqlsh or through external library, all time out with an rpc_timeout. If I use cassandra-cli, I can do "list tablename limit 10" and immediately get my 10 rows back. However, if I do "select * from tablename limit 10" I get the rpc timeout error. Same table, same server. It doesn't seem to matter if I'm hitting a cql3 definited table or older style. Load on the nodes is relatively low at the moment. Any suggestions short of restarting nodes? This is a pretty major issue for us right now.
