restarting node crashes with NPE when, while replaying the commitlog, the cfMetaData is requested -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-995 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-995 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 0.7 Environment: SVN rev 935070 Reporter: Ted Zlatanov Removing the commitlog directory completely fixes this. I can reliably reproduce it by 1) starting and configuring a schema with one keyspace, one super CF with LongType supercolumns; 2) inserting data; 3) shutting down and restarting the node. Here's my schema expressed in cassidy.pl, should be obvious what the parameters are: ./cassidy.pl -server X -port Y -keyspace system 'kdefine test org.apache.cassandra.locator.RackUnawareStrategy 2 org.apache.cassandra.locator.EndPointSnitch' ./cassidy.pl -server X -port Y -keyspace test 'fdefine Status Super LongType BytesType comment=statuschanges,row_cache_size=0,key_cache_size=20000' The problem seems to be related to CASSANDRA-44 as it happens when the CF metadata is requested but I don't know what's causing it. 10/04/16 15:25:11 INFO commitlog.CommitLog: Replaying /home/cassandra/commitlog/CommitLog-1271449410100.log, /home/cassandra/commitlog/CommitLog-1271449378151.log, /home/cassandra/commitlog/CommitLog-1271449415800.log java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.apache.commons.daemon.support.DaemonLoader.load(DaemonLoader.java:160) Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.cassandra.db.Table.<init>(Table.java:261) at org.apache.cassandra.db.Table.open(Table.java:102) at org.apache.cassandra.db.commitlog.CommitLog.recover(CommitLog.java:233) at org.apache.cassandra.db.commitlog.CommitLog.recover(CommitLog.java:172) at org.apache.cassandra.thrift.CassandraDaemon.setup(CassandraDaemon.java:104) at org.apache.cassandra.thrift.CassandraDaemon.init(CassandraDaemon.java:151) ... 5 more -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
