Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-6648:
---------------------------------------------
How many keyspaces/CFs are defined when this occurs?
> Race condition during node bootstrapping
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-6648
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6648
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Sergio Bossa
> Priority: Critical
>
> When bootstrapping a new node, data is "missing" as if the new node didn't
> actually bootstrap, which I tracked down to the following scenario:
> 1) New node joins token ring and waits for schema to be settled before
> actually bootstrapping.
> 2) The schema scheck somewhat passes and it starts bootstrapping.
> 3) Bootstrapping doesn't find the ks/cf that should have received from the
> other node.
> 4) Queries at this point cause NPEs, until when later they "recover" but data
> is missed.
> The problem seems to be caused by a race condition between the migration
> manager and the bootstrapper, with the former running after the latter.
> I think this is supposed to protect against such scenarios:
> {noformat}
> while (!MigrationManager.isReadyForBootstrap())
> {
> setMode(Mode.JOINING, "waiting for schema information to
> complete", true);
> Uninterruptibles.sleepUninterruptibly(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
> }
> {noformat}
> But MigrationManager.isReadyForBootstrap() implementation is quite fragile
> and doesn't take into account "slow" schema propagation.
