Philip Thompson commented on CASSANDRA-9045:
--------------------------------------------
I am still unable to reproduce with the following worklow:
Create a multiDC cluster, where in_memory_compaction_limit_in_mb = 1
set up a keyspace using NTS
Create the same table as the reporter.
Write 5M rows to a single partition.
Flush
Select a row from the partition
Delete the row
Repair on all nodes
Select the row
> Deleted columns are resurrected after repair in wide rows

> Hey guys,
> After almost a week of researching the issue and trying out multiple things
> with (almost) no luck I was suggested (on the user@cass list) to file a
> report here.
> h5. Setup
> Cassandra 2.0.13 (we had the issue with 2.0.10 as well and upgraded to see if
> it goes away)
> Multi datacenter 12+6 nodes cluster.
> h5. Schema
> {code}
> cqlsh> describe keyspace blackbook;
> CREATE KEYSPACE blackbook WITH replication = {
> 'class': 'NetworkTopologyStrategy',
> 'IAD': '3',
> 'ORD': '3'
> };
> USE blackbook;
> CREATE TABLE bounces (
> domainid text,
> address text,
> message text,
> "timestamp" bigint,
> PRIMARY KEY (domainid, address)
> ) WITH
> bloom_filter_fp_chance=0.100000 AND
> caching='KEYS_ONLY' AND
> comment='' AND
> dclocal_read_repair_chance=0.100000 AND
> gc_grace_seconds=864000 AND
> index_interval=128 AND
> read_repair_chance=0.000000 AND
> populate_io_cache_on_flush='false' AND
> default_time_to_live=0 AND
> speculative_retry='99.0PERCENTILE' AND
> memtable_flush_period_in_ms=0 AND
> compaction={'class': 'LeveledCompactionStrategy'} AND
> compression={'sstable_compression': 'LZ4Compressor'};
> {code}
> h5. Use case
> Each row (defined by a domainid) can have many many columns (bounce entries)
> so rows can get pretty wide. In practice, most of the rows are not that big
> but some of them contain hundreds of thousands and even millions of columns.
> Columns are not TTL'ed but can be deleted using the following CQL3 statement:
> {code}
> delete from bounces where domainid = 'domain.com' and address =
> 'al...@example.com';
> {code}
> All queries are performed using LOCAL_QUORUM CL.
> h5. Problem
> We weren't very diligent about running repairs on the cluster initially, but
> shorty after we started doing it we noticed that some of previously deleted
> columns (bounce entries) are there again, as if tombstones have disappeared.
> I have run this test multiple times via cqlsh, on the row of the customer who
> originally reported the issue:
> * delete an entry
> * verify it's not returned even with CL=ALL
> * run repair on nodes that own this row's key
> * the columns reappear and are returned even with CL=ALL
> I tried the same test on another row with much less data and everything was
> correctly deleted and didn't reappear after repair.
> h5. Other steps I've taken so far
> Made sure NTP is running on all servers and clocks are synchronized.
> Increased gc_grace_seconds to 100 days, ran full repair (on the affected
> keyspace) on all nodes, then changed it back to the default 10 days again.
> Didn't help.
> Performed one more test. Updated one of the resurrected columns, then deleted
> it and ran repair again. This time the updated version of the column
> reappeared.
> Finally, I noticed these log entries for the row in question:
> {code}
> INFO [ValidationExecutor:77] 2015-03-25 20:27:43,936
> CompactionController.java (line 192) Compacting large row
> blackbook/bounces:4ed558feba8a483733001d6a (279067683 bytes) incrementally
> {code}
> Figuring it may be related I bumped "in_memory_compaction_limit_in_mb" to
> 512MB so the row fits into it, deleted the entry and ran repair once again.
> The log entry for this row was gone and the columns didn't reappear.
> We have a lot of rows much larger than 512MB so can't increase this
> parameters forever, if that is the issue.
> Please let me know if you need more information on the case or if I can run
> more experiments.
> Thanks!
> Roman
