Subject: Encountering timeout exception when running get_key_range

Hello all,

I am running into problems with get_key_range. I have
OrderPreservingPartitioner defined in storage-conf.xml and I am using
a columnfamily that looks like
     <ColumnFamily CompareWith="BytesType"
                   Name="DatastoreDeletionSchedule"
                   />

My command is client.get_key_range("Keyspace1", "DatastoreDeletionSchedule",
                    "", "", 25, ConsistencyLevel.ONE);

It usually works fine but after a day or so from server writes into
this column family, I started getting
ERROR [pool-1-thread-36] 2009-10-19 17:24:28,223 Cassandra.java (line
770) Internal error processing get_key_range

        at org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageProxy.getKeyRange(StorageProxy.java:556)
        ... 7 more

I still get the timeout exceptions even though the servers have been
idle for 2 days. When I restart the cassandra servers, it seems to
work fine again. Any ideas what could be wrong?

By the way, I am using version:apache-cassandra-incubating-0.4.0-rc2
Not sure if this is fixed in the 0.4.1 version

Thanks
Ray
