Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-11882:
----------------------------------------------
Sorry for being slightly annoying, but catching {{Throwable}} in
{{writeConnected}} is imo right, but it means we can catch stuffs like
{{OutOfMemoryException}} for which we kind of want to let the JVM die. So
basically, we should call {{JVMStabilityInspector.inspectThrowable()}} at the
beginning of the {{catch}} clause. We probably always should have done that in
fact really, so 3.0 should probably get that part (and yes, the storage engine
revamp is why you can know have larger than 64k values in clustering).
> Clustering Key with ByteBuffer size > 64k throws Assertion Error

> Key: CASSANDRA-11882
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11882
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: CQL, Streaming and Messaging
> Reporter: Lerh Chuan Low
> Fix For: 2.1.x
>
> Attachments: 11882-2.1.txt
>
>
> Setup:
> {code}
> CREATE KEYSPACE Blues WITH REPLICATION = { 'class' : 'SimpleStrategy',
> 'replication_factor' : 2};
> CREATE TABLE test (a text, b text, PRIMARY KEY ((a), b))
> {code}
> There currently doesn't seem to be an existing check for selecting clustering
> keys that are larger than 64k. So if we proceed to do the following select:
> {code}
> CONSISTENCY ALL;
> SELECT * FROM Blues.test WHERE a = 'foo' AND b = 'something larger than 64k';
> {code}
> An AssertionError is thrown in `ByteBufferUtil` with just a number and an
> error message detailing 'Coordinator node timed out waiting for replica nodes
> responses' . Additionally, because an error extends Throwable (it's not a
> subclass of Exception), it's not caught so the connection between the
> coordinator node and the other nodes which have the replicas seem to be
> 'stuck' until it's restarted. Any other subsequent queries, even if it's just
> SELECT where a = 'foo' and b = 'bar', will always return the Coordinator
> timing out waiting for replica nodes responses'.
