Inability to drop column families
Looking for ideas on how to diagnose this issue. I have installed v1.1.2 on
a two-node cluster (the data files loaded, incidentally, were from an
earlier v1.1.1 2-node setup). While initially I recall being able to
create/drop column families, I am no longer able to.
Let's say I have column family MyFamily in MyKeyspace. Using cassandra-cli,
I issue:
[default@unknown] use MyKeyspace;
Authenticated to keyspace: MyKeyspace
[default@galaxy_lookups] drop column family MyFamily;
27f5c6bc-8cf3-3671-94e6-9f905be28c35
Waiting for schema agreement...
... schemas agree across the cluster
However, the column family is still there, either way using "describe" from
within cassandra-cli, or through nodetool cfstats. Moreover, there are no
errors in the Cassandra logs.
Ideas on what to try next? Thanks!

Go and look in the data directory on the disk and check if the files still
exist there?

What does "show schema" show? Is the CF showing up?
Are the data files for the CF on disk?
If you poke around with the system CFs, is there any data still present?
