Has anyone ever tried to drop a column family and/or create one and have the command not return from the cli? I'm using 0.7.1 and I tried to drop a column family and the command never returned. However, on another node it showed it was gone. I Ctrl-C out of the command, then issued a create for a column family of the same name, different schema. That command never returned, but again in other host it showed it was there. I went to describe and list this column family and got this:
[default@Logging] describe keyspace Logging; Keyspace: Logging: Replication Strategy: org.apache.cassandra.locator.SimpleStrategy Replication Factor: 3 Column Families: ColumnFamily: Messages Columns sorted by: org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.UTF8Type Row cache size / save period: 0.0/0 Key cache size / save period: 200000.0/14400 Memtable thresholds: 0.5953125/127/60 GC grace seconds: 864000 Compaction min/max thresholds: 4/32 Read repair chance: 1.0 Built indexes: [] [default@Logging] list Messages; Messages not found in current keyspace. Any ideas? Bill-
