             Summary: Backport dropped column checks to 3.11
                 Key: CASSANDRA-14948
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14948
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Vincent White
            Assignee: Vincent White


This is a follow on from CASSANDRA-14913 and CASSANDRA-14843 that introduced 
some fixes to prevent and mitigate data corruption caused by dropping a column 
then re-adding it with the same name but an incompatible type (e.g. simple int 
to a complex map<>) or different kind (regular/static). 

This patch backports the checks that now exist in trunk. This does include 
adding a column to the dropped_columns table to keep track of static columns 
like trunk, not sure it we are able to make that change in 3.11.x. 

Also not sure what our stance on backporting just the isValueCompatibleWith 
check to 3.0 is. I'd be for it since it prevents recreating a simple column as 
a map (or vice-versa) which will basically always lead to corruption.

||C* 3.11.x||
