Jonathan Ellis updated CASSANDRA-3385: -------------------------------------- Attachment: 3385.txt One possible avenue for this is that if startup takes long enough (due to CL replay + sstable index sampling, probably) that compactions start before the upgrade hint purge, compaction can generation "new" 0.8 hints after we try to delete them. Patch to switch to truncate to avoid this, although CASSANDRA-3399 is open to make truncate more bulletproof in that situation itself. In the meantime, removing the hints columnfamily manually before restarting should fix the problem. Also added some debug logging to the hint purge in r1189221. > NPE in hinted handoff > --------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-3385 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3385 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Yang Yang > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.0.1 > > Attachments: > 0001-Changed-assertions-in-delivery-of-hints-to-a-check-t.patch, 3385.txt > > > I'm using the current HEAD of 1.0.0 github branch, and I'm still seeing this > error, not sure if it's this bug or another one. > INFO [HintedHandoff:1] 2011-10-19 12:43:17,674 HintedHandOffManager.java > (line 263) Started hinted handoff for token: 11342745564 > 0312821154458202477256070484 with IP: /10.39.85.140 > ERROR [HintedHandoff:1] 2011-10-19 12:43:17,885 AbstractCassandraDaemon.java > (line 133) Fatal exception in thread Thread[HintedHan > doff:1,1,main] > java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NullPointerException > at > org.apache.cassandra.utils.WrappedRunnable.run(WrappedRunnable.java:34) > at > java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:886) > at > java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:908) > at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662) > Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException > at > org.apache.cassandra.db.HintedHandOffManager.deliverHintsToEndpoint(HintedHandOffManager.java:289) > at > org.apache.cassandra.db.HintedHandOffManager.access$100(HintedHandOffManager.java:81) > at > org.apache.cassandra.db.HintedHandOffManager$2.runMayThrow(HintedHandOffManager.java:337) > at > org.apache.cassandra.utils.WrappedRunnable.run(WrappedRunnable.java:30) > ... 3 more > ERROR [HintedHandoff:1] 2011-10-19 12:43:17,886 AbstractCassandraDaemon.java > (line 133) Fatal exception in thread Thread[HintedHandoff:1,1,main] > java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NullPointerException > at > org.apache.cassandra.utils.WrappedRunnable.run(WrappedRunnable.java:34) > at > java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:886) > at > java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:908) > at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662) > Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException > at > org.apache.cassandra.db.HintedHandOffManager.deliverHintsToEndpoint(HintedHandOffManager.java:289) > at > org.apache.cassandra.db.HintedHandOffManager.access$100(HintedHandOffManager.java:81) > at > org.apache.cassandra.db.HintedHandOffManager$2.runMayThrow(HintedHandOffManager.java:337) > at > org.apache.cassandra.utils.WrappedRunnable.run(WrappedRunnable.java:30) > ... 3 more > this could possibly be related to #3291 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
