Cassandra throws Exceptions at startup when using TTL in SuperColumns ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-1130 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1130 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Reporter: Jignesh Dhruv Priority: Critical Hello, I am trying to use TTL (timeToLive) feature in SuperColumns. My usecase is: - I have a SuperColumn and 3 subcolumns. - I try to expire data after 60 seconds. While Cassandra is up and running, I am successfully able to push and read data without any problems. Data compaction and all occurs fine. After inserting say about 100000 records, I stop Cassandra while data is still coming. On startup Cassandra throws an exception and won't start up. (This happens 1 in every 3 times). Exception varies like: - EOFException while reading data - negative value encountered exception - Heap Space Exception Cassandra simply won't start up. Again I get this problem only when I use TTL with SuperColumns. There are no issues with using TTL with regular Columns. I tried to diagnose the problem and it seems to happen on startup when it sees a Column that is marked Deleted and its trying to read data. Its off by some bytes and hence all these exceptions. Caused by: java.io.IOException: Corrupt (negative) value length encountered at org.apache.cassandra.utils.FBUtilities.readByteArray(FBUtilities.java:317) at org.apache.cassandra.db.ColumnSerializer.deserialize(ColumnSerializer.java:84) at org.apache.cassandra.db.SuperColumnSerializer.deserialize(SuperColumn.java:336) at org.apache.cassandra.db.SuperColumnSerializer.deserialize(SuperColumn.java:285) at org.apache.cassandra.db.filter.SSTableSliceIterator$ColumnGroupReader.getNextBlock(SSTableSliceIterator.java:235) at org.apache.cassandra.db.filter.SSTableSliceIterator$ColumnGroupReader.pollColumn(SSTableSliceIterator.java:195) ... 18 more Let me know if you need more information.
