Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-1935:
-------------------------------------------
Agreed that we should abort startup. (Isn't that what "fail fast" means?)
> Refuse to open SSTables from the future

> Key: CASSANDRA-1935
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1935
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Stu Hood
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.8
>
>
> If somebody has rolled back to a previous version of Cassandra that is unable
> to read an SSTable written by a future version correctly (indicated by a
> version change), failing fast is safer than accidentally performing a
> compaction that rewrites incorrect data and leaves you in an odd state.
