All requests in Cassandra are subject to timeouts which default to small numbers of seconds. Secondary index queries are slower than non-secondary index queries. Low cardinality is not a great case for them. If you turn on tracing, it might inform your performance picture. My hunch is that you are not seeing a bug, you are seeing the inevitable performance characteristics of a very low cardinality Cassandra Secondary Index. =Rob
