hello everybody, This morning, Monday!!!, I was checking on Cassandra cluster and I noticed that all data was missing. I noticed the following error on each node (9 nodes in the cluster):
*2021-03-01 09:05:52,984 WARN [MessagingService-Incoming-/x.x.x.x] IncomingTcpConnection.java:103 run UnknownColumnFamilyException reading from socket; closingorg.apache.cassandra.db.UnknownColumnFamilyException: Couldn't find table for cfId cba90a70-5c46-11e9-9e36-f54fe3235e69.

[cqlsh 5.0.1 | Cassandra 3.11.5.1 | CQL spec 3.4.4 | Native protocol v4] Use HELP for help. cqlsh> select * from mykeyspace.mytable where id = 123935; *InvalidRequest: Error from server: code=2200 [Invalid query] message="Keyspace * *mykeyspace does not exist"* Investigating on each node I found that all the *SStables exist*, so I think data is still there but the keyspace vanished, "magically". Other facts I can tell you are: - I have been getting Anticompaction errors from 2 nodes due to the fact the disk was almost full. - the cluster was online friday - this morning, Monday, the whole cluster was offline and I noticed the problem of "missing keyspace" - During the weekend the cluster has been subject to inserts and deletes - I have a 9 node (HDD) Cassandra 3.11 cluster. I really need help on this, how can I restore the cluster? Thank you very much Marco
