TRUNCATE TABLE statement sometimes hangs

Why does the TRUNCATE TABLE statement hang sometimes? What are the reasons for this type of issue? I am migrating from MySQL to MariaDB. This problem doesn't happen with MySQL, only with MariaDB. The hanging statement is simply: TRUNCATE TABLE sampledb.datatable; What can cause this to happen, and how could I fix it? Another one observation is if the table have some data, may be one or two rows, then the truncate query works successfully. Else the table have a lot of data, query becomes hang.
