I have encountered this problem while update the key cache and row cache. I once updated them to "0"(disable) while node2 was not available, when it comeback they eventually have the same schema version.
[default@prjspace] describe cluster; Cluster Information: Snitch: org.apache.cassandra.locator.SimpleSnitch Partitioner: org.apache.cassandra.dht.RandomPartitioner Schema versions: 79d072cc-cc62-11e0-a753-5525ca993302: [node3, node1, node2] ever time I change the row cache && key cache back per CF, it show the following error: [default@prjspace] update column family CommentCache with keys_cached=200000; Waiting for schema agreement... Warning: unreachable nodes node3The schema has not settled in 10 seconds; further migrations are ill-advised until it does. Versions are f7f24ef4-caf7-11e0-9b1d-5525ca993302:[node1],79d072cc-cc62-11e0-a753-5525ca993302:[node2],UNREACHABLE:[node3] really have no idea what does this means....
