Hi, We are currently using apache cassandra 3.11.6. We have a cluster of 4 nodes all in single DC. All of a sudden we started experiencing high connection timeout on the cluster. This timeout spikes are coming intermittently. As checked from grafana, read/write time, jvm threads count, client counts got increased at the same time. But there isn't any major GC pause at this time.
