Ryan McGuire updated CASSANDRA-6740:
------------------------------------
Reproduced In: 2.1
> Non-empty flush directory causes NPE on startup
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-6740
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6740
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Ryan McGuire
> Priority: Minor

> With the changes in CASSANDRA-6357, there is now the case where someone may want to start a fresh cluster on a machine that previously hosted one, clean out the directories they are familiar with (eg, data_file_directories, commitlog_directories) but fail to clean out the flush_directory. If they don't clean that out, they will see this in the logs:

> I suggest a better warning message telling them it's due to the unclean flush dir, instead of an NPE.
