Not starting due to Invalid saved cache ---------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-2076 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2076 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Environment: linux Reporter: Thibaut Priority: Minor Fix For: 0.7.2 This occured on two nodes on me (running 0.7.1 from svn) One node was killed by the kernel due to a OOM and the other node was haning and I had to kill it manually with kill -9 (kill didn't work). (maybe these were faulty hardware nodes, I don't know) The saved_cache was corrupt afterwards and I couldn't start the nodes. After deleting the saved_caches directory I could start the nodes again. Instead of not starting when an error occurs, cassandra could simply delete the errornous file and continue to start?
