Two questions really: 1) Is there a way to search the archives https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/cassandra-user/ or another better approach to searching for Cassandra answers such as #2?
2) I have the following error in /var/log/cassandra/cassandra.log - cassandra dies after "service cassandra start" This is Cassandra 2.1.8 running on RHEL 6.6, in a docker container.

Fortunately, this is an experimental system, not production (and actually running in a VM that experienced a couple of transient disconnects to its datastore, likely having ill effect on /data.) I'd really *hate* to see this happen in production! (But then, in production, I should have some pretty resilient storage for data_file_directories and commitlog_directory.) Is this a case where sstablescrub might be useful? If so, I've only vague ideas about what arguments to supply for <keyspace> and <column_family>.
