Good points! This is probably it. If my understanding of those timeout config settings are correct (i.e. max 2 second write wait), then cassandra would be much more sensitive to times of VPS disk or CPU contention on a virtual machine. That is to say, MySQL doesn’t error out if your VPS freezes with CPU/Disk/Network contention for 2 seconds, but it seems that cassandra would. Is my understanding correct? Best regards, Jacob
