Hi Check,
Please avoid double posting on mailing lists. It leads to double work
(respect people's time!) and makes it hard for people in the future having
the same issue as you to follow discussions and answers.
That said, if you have a lot of primary keys
select user_id from testkeyspace.user_record;
will most definitely timeout. Have a look at `SELECT DISTINCT` at [1]. More
importantly, for larger datasets you will also need to split the token
space into smaller segments and iteratively select your primary keys. See
[2].

If you are having specific issues with the Java Driver I suggest you ask on
that mailing list (only).
Cheers,
Jens
