Jignesh Dhruv commented on CASSANDRA-1130: ------------------------------------------ Yes I am using the latest source code from trunk. I have a small java application that deals with creating schema and populating data. This is what I was able to debug till now: The error occurs during deserialization in ColumnSerializer. There is an extra int byte that needs to be read before ColumnSerializer.java:84. Value of this extra int byte is "4". Not sure what it stands for. I am not sure from where that byte is set. After reading that byte, I get the localDeletionTime value. Also this happens when the DELETION_MASK is set on a record. It works fine for records with EXPIRATION_MASK. I am thinking that converting a record from EXPIRY to DELETED is causing this error at startup or something like that. Let me know if you need more information. But you should be able to reproduce this if you have a SuperColumn and their subColumns with TTL. Stop and start cassandra after loading some data. It consistently fails to startup 1 out of every 3 times.
