Cassandra: Truncating a table twice throws consistency exception - cassandra

Question

I have a scalatest suite that's failing, and I have narrowed the cause down to the code that runs before tests and truncates a data table. If I run the following code I can recreate the problem
session.execute(s"TRUNCATE ${dao.tableName};")
session.execute(s"TRUNCATE ${dao.tableName};")
Throws:
Error during truncate: Cannot achieve consistency level ALL

I'm using the datastax driver 2.0.0-RC2, and have a cluster of three nodes.
Any ideas as to what's going wrong here?

Answer 1

Turns out this was an issue with a node that had got into an inconsistent state due to running out of diskspace

Answer 2

This is because of consistency level . You can not truncate all nodes data using consistency level ALL . you have to put consistency level one or two then it will truncate all data from one nodes after some time this node will truncate all data from other nodes .
