Summary: Altering a column's type breaks commitlog replay Key: CASSANDRA-12397 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12397 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Carl Yeksigian When switching from a fixed-length column to a variable-length column, replaying the commitlog on restart will have the same issue as CASSANDRA-11820. Seems like it is related to the schema being flushed and used when restarted, but commitlogs having been written in the old format. {noformat} org.apache.cassandra.db.commitlog.CommitLogReadHandler$CommitLogReadException: Unexpected error deserializing mutation; saved to /tmp/mutation4816372620457789996dat. This may be caused by replaying a mutation against a table with the same name but incompatible schema.
