Omid Aladini commented on CASSANDRA-5195:
-----------------------------------------
I think upon loading the schema via OfflineScrubber, DefsTable.loadFromStorage
migrates the old system tables to the new format. Therefore it drops the old
ones but doesn't flush the commitlogs of new ones. OfflineScrubber exits and on
the next start, schema_{keyspaces, columnfamilies, columns} have no persisted
sstables, and the commitlog gets replayed after Cassandra tries to load CF
schemas, therefore finds none. This explains why after second restart, column
families appear again (something force-flushes system CFs?).
A new patch (0001-Flush-newly-migrated-system-CFs.patch) is attached to fix the
problem (although I'm not sure if there is a more proper fix for this or if
there is a better place to put the foced flush.)

> Key: CASSANDRA-5195
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5195
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 1.1.9
> Reporter: Omid Aladini
> Fix For: 1.1.11
>
> Attachments: 0001-Flush-newly-migrated-system-CFs.patch, 5195.patch

> Due to CASSANDRA-4411, upon migration from 1.0.x to 1.1.x containing
> LCS-compacted sstables, an offline scrub should be run before Cassandra 1.1.x
> is started. But Cassandra 1.1.x uses a new directory structure
> (CASSANDRA-2749) that offline scrubber doesn't detect or try to migrate.
> How to reproduce:
> 1- Run cassandra 1.0.12.
> 2- Run stress tool, let Cassandra flush Keyspace1 or flush manually.
> 3- Stop cassandra 1.0.12
> 4- Run ./bin/sstablescrub Keyspace1 Standard1
> which returns "Unknown keyspace/columnFamily Keyspace1.Standard1" and
> notice the data directory isn't migrated.
> 5- Run cassandra 1.1.9. Keyspace1 doesn't get loaded and Cassandra doesn't
> try to migrate the directory structure. Also commitlog entries get skipped:
> "Skipped XXXXX mutations from unknown (probably removed) CF with id 1000"
> Without the unsuccessful step 4, Cassandra 1.1.9 loads and migrates the
> Keyspace correctly.
