> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug

> I've noticed on unit test output that there are still assertions being raised
> here, so I've taken a torch to the code path to make damned certain it cannot
> happen in future
> # We now wait for all running reads on a column family or writes on the
> keyspace during a dropCf call
> # We wait for all appends to the prior commit log segments before recycling
> them
> # We pass the list of dropped Cfs into the CL.forceRecycle call so that they
> can be markedClean definitely after they have been marked finished
> # Finally, to prevent any possibility of this still happening causing any
> negative consequences, I've suppressed the assertion in favour of an error
> log message, as the assertion would break correct program flow for the drop
> and potentially result in undefined behaviour
> -(in actuality there is the slightest possibility still of a race condition
> on read of a secondary index that causes a repair driven write, but this is a
> really tiny race window, as I force wait for all reads after unlinking the
> CF, so it would have to be a read that grabbed the CFS reference before it
> was dropped, but hadn't quite started its read op yet).- In fact this is also
> safe, as these modifications all grab a write op from the Keyspace, which has
> to happen before they get the CFS, and also because we drop the data before
> waiting for reads to finish on the CFS.
