Yes it seems like a GC issue. And since the default timeout for write/read is 2000ms and 5000ms, you might be experiencing timeout issues. But you need to check reason behind this GC pause. Heavy partition or high tombstones could be one reason. Check your table stats for the same. As suggested you can opt for g1gc
