Both total system memory and heap size can't be 8GB? The timeout on the Astyanax client should be greater than the timeouts on the C* nodes, otherwise your client will timeout prematurely.
Also, have you tried increasing the timeout for the range queries to a higher number? It is not recommended to set them very high, because a lot of other problems may start happening, but then reading 800,000 partitions is not a normal operation. Just as an experimentation, can you set the range timeout to 45 seconds on each node and the timeout on the Astyanax client to 50 seconds? Restart the nodes after increasing the timeout and try again.

We used following method. boolean result = new AllRowsReader.Builder<String, String>(keyspace, CF_STANDARD1) .withColumnRange(null, null, false, 0) .withPartitioner(null) // this will use keyspace's partitioner .forEachRow(new Function<Row<String, String>, Boolean>() { @Override public Boolean apply(@Nullable Row<String, String> row) { // Process the row here ... return true; } }) .build() .call(); Tried setting concurrency level as mentioned in this post (https://github.com/Netflix/astyanax/issues/411) as well on both astyanax 1.56.49 and 2.0.0. Still nothing.
