Re: Possibly losing data with corrupted SSTables

Hi, Rahul.

I've removed the corrupted sstables and 'nodetool repair' ran successfully for the column family. I'm not sure whether or not we've lost data.

Best regards,
Francisco Sobral

After looking at some problematic CFs, we observed that some of them have root permissions, instead of cassandra permissions. Also, their names are different from the 'good' ones as we can see below:

Our solution was to put ALL cluster data into EACH new node and run 'nodetool refresh'. I performed this task for each node and each column family sequentially. Sometimes I had to rename some sstables, because they came from different nodes with the same name. I don't remember if I ran 'nodetool repair'  or even 'nodetool cleanup' in each node. Apparently, the process was successful, and (almost) all the data was moved.

If you read/write at CL.ONE, there is a non-zero chance that you have lost
data. In practice, this chance is pretty low unless you constantly drop
mutation messages or have a RF of under 3.

You might want to look at this JIRA i filed today
CASSANDRA-6696 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6696>

You are good if you are fine with data reappearing.
