Cassandra version is v3.0.9. When running sstabledump (from either 3.0.9 or 3.9), we get a NullPointer Exception.

>          Components: Compaction
>         Environment: Cassandra 3.0.9 / Casandra 3.9
> Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM version 25.112-b15 (Java version 1.8.0_112-b15)

> We have a table where all columns are stored with TTL of maximum 4 hours. Usually TWCS compaction properly removes  expired data via tombstone compaction and also removes fully expired tables. The number of SSTables is nearly constant since weeks. Good.
> The problem:  Suddenly TWCS does not remove old SSTables any longer. They are being recreated frequently (judging form the filer creation timestamp), but the number of tables is growing.
> - sstablemetadata shows strange data, as if the table is completely empty.
> - sstabledump throws an Exception when running it on such a SSTable
