Hinted handoff not working after rolling upgrade from 0.8.7 to 1.0.2 --------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-3466 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3466 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 1.0.2 Reporter: Jonas Borgström While testing rolling upgrades from 0.8.7 to 1.0.2 on a test cluster I've noticed that hinted hand-off didn't always work properly. Hints generated on an upgraded node does not seem to be delivered to other newly upgraded nodes once they rejoin the ring. They only way I've found to get a node to deliver its hints is to restart it. Here's some steps to reproduce this issue: 1. Install cassandra 0.8.7 on node1 and node2 using default settings. 2. Create keyspace foo with {replication_factor: 2}. Create column family bar 3. Shutdown node2 4. Insert data into bar and verify that HintsColumnFamily contains hints 5. Start node2 and verify that hinted handoff is performed and HintsColumnFamily becomes empty. 6. Upgrade "node1" to cassandra 1.0.2 and repeat step 3-5. 7. Notice that hinted handoff is not performed when "node2" goes online. (Only after node1 is restarted) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
