Christoph Werres updated CASSANDRA-6708: ---------------------------------------- Description: 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} was: When using cqlsh console and dropping a non existent table, an exception is thrown although the IF EXISTS condition was given.
