0.6.x Failed to create internal tables on Cassandra

[StardustXiaoT]

• Version: 0.6.1
• Storage Backend: Cassandra cluster
• Mixed Index Backend: none
• Link to discussed bug: similar issue https://lists.lfaidata.foundation/g/janusgraph-users/topic/unconfigured_table_exceptions/85741983?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate/sticky,,,20,2,0,85741983,previd=1634849714017760765,nextid=1631631322121685927&previd=1634849714017760765&nextid=1631631322121685927
• Expected Behavior: janusgraph able to create tables on cassnadra automatically
• Current Behavior: sometime it does not auto create internal tables and sometime only create few. need manual create on table.
• Steps to Reproduce:

Create and run Janusgraph 0.6.1 binary on docker.
Bitnami cassandra cluster as back-end storage.
cassandra:
enabled: true
image:
registry: docker.io
repository: bitnami/cassandra
tag: 4.0.3-debian-10-r8
replicaCount: 3

Two method to create graph:

1. default cql properties with fixed keyspace param.
2. ConfiguredGraphFactory.create("graph1");

Both methods may trouble creating tables on initializing keyspace on Cassandra.

Did you try adding the config storage.cql.request-timeout = 10000 (10 seconds)? By default, it's 2 seconds, and some users have reported problems with 2 seconds being too low.

I found this on my configure. I believe I tried this before.
#storage.cql.request-timeout = 24000

Have you also tried the advanced.metadata.schema.debouncer.window config as mentioned in https://lists.lfaidata.foundation/g/janusgraph-users/topic/unconfigured_table_exceptions/85741983 ?

[StardustXiaoT]

#storage.cql.internal.string-configuration = datastax-java-driver { advanced.metadata.schema.debouncer.max-events = 20 }
#storage.cql.internal.string-configuration = datastax-java-driver { advanced.metadata.schema.debouncer.window = 1 seconds }
#storage.cql.request-timeout = 24000

yep I tried

I did some test on versions and clustering on cassandra, here is some result.
ConfiguredGraphFactory

janusgraph 0.6.1 cassandra 3.11.12 single node(docker) immediate creation on internal tables
janusgraph 0.6.1 cassandra 4.0.3 single node(docker) immediate creation on internal tables

janusgraph 0.6.1 cassandra 3.11.12 cluster(k8s) exceed evaluationTimeout 30000, changes to 60000, then it works
janusgraph 0.5.3 cassandra 3.11.12 cluster(k8s) exceed evaluationTimeout 30000, changes to 60000, then it works

Cool, I presume you have figured out the appropriate configurations by yourself. If you don't mind I am marking your own reply as the answer.
