Hi Yuji,

can you reproduce the behaviour with a single node?

The reason I ask is because I probably have the same issue with my
automated tests (which run truncate between every test), which run on my
local laptop.

Maybe around 5 tests randomly fail out of my 1800. I can see that the
failed tests sometimes show data from other tests, which I think must be
because of a failed truncate. This behaviour is seems to be CQL only, or at
least has gotten worse with CQL. I did not experience this with Thrift.

regards,
Christian
