Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-14638:
--------------------------------------
[~jjordan]: there is no well defined behaviour for a client version, only for
a C* version, so unless we reject all connections from older client versions
(which would be unacceptable) I don't think this buys us much.
The only properly backward compatible solution I can imagine would be extremely
costly, i.e. on startup, fetch all prepared statements from other nodes in the
cluster, and persist the UUID and the version it was prepared against, and
forever more treat this statement as that select order. Even this would not be
perfect, as there's the possibility of a statement falling out of cache.
Another option would be to roll the hash of all prepared statements, just once,
so that submitting the query to an upgraded node would return NOT_PREPARED, but
this would cause a lot of re-prepare traffic during upgrade and I'm not sure
all clients would handle this gracefully (they may assume, for instance, that
the UUID does not change when the statement is re-prepared).
I don't think there's a neat solution to this, though I'm happy to be proven
wrong.

> Key: CASSANDRA-14638
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14638
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment: Single C* node ccm cluster upgraded from C* 2.1.20 to
> 3.0.17
> Reporter: Andy Tolbert
> Assignee: Aleksey Yeschenko
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.0.x, 3.11.x
>
>
> When performing an upgrade from C* 2.1.20 to 3.0.17 I observed that the order
> of columns returned from a 'SELECT *' query changes, particularly when static
> columns are involved.
> This may not seem like that much of a problem, however if using Prepared
> Statements, any clients that remain connected during the upgrade may
> encounter issues consuming results from these queries, as data is reordered
> and the client not aware of it. The result definition is sent in the
> original prepared statement response, so if order changes the client has no
> way of knowing (until C* 4.0 via CASSANDRA-10786) without re-preparing, which
> is non-trivial as most client drivers cache prepared statements.
> This could lead to reading the wrong values for columns, which could result
> in some kind of deserialization exception or if the data types of the
> switched columns are compatible, the wrong values. This happens even if the
> client attempts to retrieve a column value by name (i.e. row.getInt("colx")).
> Unfortunately I don't think there is an easy fix for this. If the order was
> changed back to the previous format, you risk issues for users upgrading from
> older 3.0 version. I think it would be nice to add a note in the NEWS file
> in the 3.0 upgrade section that describes this issue, and how to work around
> it (specify all column names of interest explicitly in query).
> Example schema and code to reproduce:
>
> {noformat}
> create keyspace ks with replication = {'class': 'SimpleStrategy',
> 'replication_factor': 1};
> create table ks.tbl (p0 text,
> p1 text,
> m map<text, text> static,
> t text,
> u text static,
> primary key (p0, p1)
> );
> insert into ks.tbl (p0, p1, m, t, u) values ('p0', 'p1', { 'm0' : 'm1' },
> 't', 'u');{noformat}
>
> When querying with 2.1 you'll observe the following order via cqlsh:
> {noformat}
> p0 | p1 | m | u | t
> ----+----+--------------+---+---
> p0 | p1 | {'m0': 'm1'} | u | t{noformat}
>
> With 3.0, observe that u and m are transposed:
>
> {noformat}
> p0 | p1 | u | m | t
> ----+----+---+--------------+---
> p0 | p1 | u | {'m0': 'm1'} | t{noformat}

> To reproduce, set up a cluster, the schema, and run this script. Then
> upgrade the cluster to 3.0.17 (with ccm, ccm stop; ccm node1 setdir -v
> 3.0.17; ccm start works) and observe after the client is able to reconnect
> that the results are in a different order. i.e.:
>
> With 2.x:
>
> {noformat}
> 0: p0 -> varchar -> val = 2
> 1: p1 -> varchar -> val = 2
> 2: m -> map<varchar, varchar> -> val = 16
> 3: u -> varchar -> val = 1
> 4: t -> varchar -> val = 1{noformat}
>
> With 3.x:
>
> {noformat}
> 0: p0 -> varchar -> val = 2
> 1: p1 -> varchar -> val = 2
> 2: m -> map<varchar, varchar> -> val = 1
> 3: u -> varchar -> val = 16 (<-- the data for 'm' is now at index 3)
> 4: t -> varchar -> val = 1{noformat}
