ColumnFamilyStore masking IOException from FileUtils as IOError ---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-1557 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1557 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Bug Components: API Affects Versions: 0.7 beta 2 Reporter: Aaron Morton Priority: Minor The code in ColumnFamilyStore.snapshot() line 1368 is catching an IOException from the call to FileUtils.createHardLink() and wrapping it in an IOError. However the code in TruncateVerbHandler:56 is looking for the IOException. This can result in the client not getting a response to a truncate() API call. When running on a machine with very low memory I attempted to truncate a CF with few rows, the following error occurred in the logs.
