> I recently wiped a customer's QA cluster. I drained each node and verified that they were drained. When I restarted the nodes, I saw the commitlog replay create a memtable and then flush it. I have attached a sanitized log snippet from a representative node at the time. 
> It appears to show the following :
> 1) Drain begins
> 2) Drain triggers flush
> 3) Flush triggers compaction
> 4) StorageService logs DRAINED message
> 5) compaction thread excepts
> 6) on restart, same CF creates a memtable
> 7) and then flushes it [1]
> The columnfamily involved in the replay in 7) is the CF for which the compaction thread excepted in 5). This seems to suggest a timing issue whereby the exception in 5) prevents the flush in 3) from marking all the segments flushed, causing them to replay after restart.
> [1] Isn't commitlog replay not supposed to automatically trigger a flush in modern cassandra?
