[jira] [Created] (CASSANDRA-14957) Rolling Restart Of Nodes Cause Dataloss Due To Schema Collision

Avraham Kalvo created CASSANDRA-14957:
-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Rolling Restart Of Nodes Cause Dataloss Due To Schema Collision
                 Key: CASSANDRA-14957
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14957
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Cluster/Schema
            Reporter: Avraham Kalvo


We were issuing a rolling restart on a mission-critical five node C* cluster.
The first node which was restarted got the following messages in its system.log:


```
January 2nd 2019, 12:06:37.310 - INFO 12:06:35 Initializing tasks_scheduler_external.tasks
```
```

```

The latter was then repeated several times across the cluster.
It was then found out that the table in question `tasks_scheduler_external.tasks` was created with a new schema version after the entire cluster was restarted consecutively and schema agreement settled, which started taking requests leaving the previous version of the schema unavailable for any request, thus generating a data loss to our online system.

Data loss was recovered by manually copying SSTables from the previous version directory of the schema to the new one followed by `nodetool refresh` to the relevant table.

The above has repeated itself for several tables across various keyspaces.

One other thing to mention is that a repair was in place for the first node to be restarted, which was obviously stopped as the daemon was shut down, but this doesn't seem to do with the above at first glance.

Seems somewhat related to:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13559
