Chris Herron commented on CASSANDRA-4417: ----------------------------------------- Another observation since: in previous runs with key cache disabled we were not seeing any errors. However I've since found some invalid counter shard errors that are occurring during normal compaction. {code} ERROR [CompactionExecutor:6] 2012-10-19 15:43:50,920 org.apache.cassandra.db.context.CounterContext invalid counter shard detected; (15b843e0-ff7c-11e0-0000-07f4b18563ff, 1, 1) and (15b843e0-ff7c-11e0-0000-07f4b18563ff, 1, 2) differ only in count; will pick highest to self-heal; this indicates a bug or corruption generated a bad counter shard {code} So to be clear, this particular scenario is: * C* 1.1.6 with key cache disabled. * Load test ran earlier against this same setup; but no upgradesstables during that run; no errors under load during that test run. * Later, some nightly jobs ran that read from Super CF counters, write to other CFs. * Compaction activity occurs later after load test and nightly jobs complete. Invalid counter shard errors are seen for some CFs. Gleaning from the log output order, the affected CF's: ** *Did* have upgradesstables run upon them in previous configurations (1.1.6, key cache on) ** Have not been written to at all for the purpose of the load test I've been mentioning. ** Have been read from for these nightly jobs. > invalid counter shard detected > ------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-4417 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4417 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core > Affects Versions: 1.1.1 > Environment: Amazon Linux > Reporter: Senthilvel Rangaswamy > > Seeing errors like these: > 2012-07-06_07:00:27.22662 ERROR 07:00:27,226 invalid counter shard detected; > (17bfd850-ac52-11e1-0000-6ecd0b5b61e7, 1, 13) and > (17bfd850-ac52-11e1-0000-6ecd0b5b61e7, 1, 1) differ only in count; will pick > highest to self-heal; this indicates a bug or corruption generated a bad > counter shard > What does it mean ? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
