Operation Time Out Error in cqlsh console of cassandra
I have a three nodes Cassandra Cluster and I have created one table which has more than 2,000,000 rows. When I execute this ( select count(*) from userdetails ) query in cqlsh, I got this error: OperationTimedOut: errors={}, last_host=192.168.1.2 When I run count function for less row or with limit 50,000 it works fine. count(*) actually pages through all the data. So a select count(*) from userdetails without a limit would be expected to timeout with that many rows. Some details here: http://planetcassandra.org/blog/counting-key-in-cassandra/ You may want to consider maintaining the count
