 Even when I set a lower request-timeout in order to trigger a timeout, still 
no WARN or ERROR in the logs

Hi Joaquin,

Unfortunately neither WARN nor ERROR found in the system logs across the 
cluster when executing truncate. Sometimes it executes immediately, other times 
it takes 25 seconds, given that I have connected with --request-timeout=30 
seconds. 

The nodes are a bit busy compacting. On a freshly restarted cluster, truncate 
seems to work without problems.

Some warnings that I see around that time but not exactly when executing 
truncate are:
WARN  [CompactionExecutor:2] 2016-09-28 20:03:29,646 SSTableWriter.java:241 - 
Compacting large partition system/hints:6f2c3b31-4975- 470b-8f91-e706be89a83a 
(133819308 bytes

Kind regards,
George

Hi George,
Try grepping for WARN and ERROR on the system.logs across all nodes when you 
run the command. Could you post any of the recent stacktraces that you see?

Thanks a lot for your reply.

I understand that truncate is an expensive operation. But throwing a timeout 
while truncating a table that is already empty?

A workaround is to set a high --request-timeout when connecting. Even 20 
seconds is not always enough

Kind regards,
George

Truncate does a few things (based on version) 
  truncate takes snapshots  truncate causes a flush
  in very old versions truncate causes a schema migration.

In newer versions like cassandra 3.4 you have this knob.

# How long the coordinator should wait for truncates to complete# (This can be 
much longer, because unless auto_snapshot is disabled# we need to flush first 
so we can snapshot before removing the data.)truncate_request_timeout_in_ms : 
60000

In older versions you can not control when this call will timeout, it is fairly 
normal that it does!

Hello,

I keep executing a TRUNCATE command on an empty table and it throws 
OperationTimedOut randomly:

cassandra@cqlsh> truncate test.mytable;
OperationTimedOut: errors={}, last_host=cassiebeta-01
cassandra@cqlsh> truncate test.mytable;
OperationTimedOut: errors={}, last_host=cassiebeta-01

Having a 3 node cluster running 2.1.14. No connectivity problems. Has anybody 
come across the same error?

Thanks,
George
