[jira] [Comment Edited] (CASSANDRA-14957) Rolling Restart Of Nodes Causes Dataloss Due To Schema Collision

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14957?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16739427#comment-16739427 ]

--------------------------------------------------------------------

To be clear, here's the timeline of the incident:

```
12:05:02 first node state jump to shutdown for restart
12:06:37 INFO  Initializing tasks_scheduler_external.tasks (first node)
12:06:39 WARN UnknownColumnFamilyException reading from socket; closing (first node)
...
12:09:15 only trace of service migration running by issuing the following:
`CREATE KEYSPACE IF NOT EXISTS tasks_scheduler_external WITH replication =
{'class': 'SimpleStrategy', 'replication_factor': '3'};`
...
12:09:31 last node started after restart
```
Notice *no tables* were attempted to be created throughout the restart, and also the keyspace wasn't recreated as it was already in existence.

Hence - the new version of the table, as visible in the file system, *has nothing to do* with any explicit DDL running before, throughout and after the rolling restart.
The schema (DDL) hasn't changed - just the data was split into a new version on the filesystem which eventually became the version the cluster agrees on once it has completed its rolling restart.

Thank you.
Avi.

> 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 sometime along the entire cluster consecutive restart and became available once the 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:
