--------------------------------------------
Summary: NullPointerException in ColumnDefinition.hasIndexOption
Key: CASSANDRA-8786
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8786
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core
Environment: Cassandra 2.1.2
Reporter: Mathijs Vogelzang
We have a Cassandra cluster that we've been using through many upgrades, and
thus most of our column families have originally been created by Thrift. We are
on Cassandra 2.1.2 now.
We've now ported most of our code to use CQL, and our code occasionally tries
to recreate tables with "IF NOT EXISTS" to work properly on development /
testing environments.
When we issue the CQL statement "CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS index ON
"tableName" (accountId)" (this index does exist on that table already), we get
a DriverInternalError: An unexpected error occurred server side on
cass_host/xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9042: java.lang.NullPointerException
The error on the server is java.lang.NullPointerException: null

This happens every time we run this CQL statement. We've tried to reproduce it
in a test cassandra cluster by creating the table according to the exact
"DESCRIBE TABLE" specification, but then this NullPointerException doesn't
happon upon the CREATE INDEX one. So it seems that the tables on our production
cluster (that were originally created through thrift) are still subtly
different schema-wise then a freshly created table according to the same
creation statement.
