Jonathan Ellis resolved CASSANDRA-6708. --------------------------------------- Resolution: Duplicate > Dropping non existent table using IF EXISTS throws Exception > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-6708 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6708 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Components: API > Environment: Ubuntu 12.0.4 with 8+ GB RAM and 40GB hard disk for data > directory. > Reporter: Christoph Werres > Priority: Minor > > When using cqlsh console and dropping a non existent table, an exception is > thrown although the IF EXISTS condition was given. Also when using the Java > driver, an InvalidQueryException is thrown in such a situation. This is very > misleading in applications that suppose such requests to be valid. In earlier > versions it was a no-op call in that case. This is cqlsh output using > Cassandra 2.0.5 version: > {noformat} > [cqlsh 4.1.1 | Cassandra 2-0-5 | CQL spec 3.1.1 | Thrift protocol 19.39.0] > Use HELP for help. > cqlsh> USE mwerrch; > cqlsh:mwerrch> DESC TABLES; > cql3test > cqlsh:mwerrch> DROP TABLE IF EXISTS noexist; > Bad Request: unconfigured columnfamily noexist > cqlsh:mwerrch> > {noformat} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
