Benjamin Lerer commented on CASSANDRA-11595:
--------------------------------------------
When a new segment is allocated the file is first created and open. The file is
then open a second time, due to a bug on Windows (CASSANDRA-8308), to be resize.
It seems that the limit of open files was reached when the file was open that
second time. Due to that nothing was written to the file.
> Cassandra cannot start because of empty commitlog
