Hi Sylvain,

Yes this UserCompletions CF uses composite comparator and I do use sstable compression.

What's the procedure to check if the compressed sstable is corrupted or not?
If it's corrupted what can I do to fix the issue with minimal cluster load impact? Is there way to delete all UserCompletions sstables on the problematic node and then run repair on this CF only? Like disable thrift, drain memtables so it does not read commit log on startup and then delete the sstables and start the node again will it work?


BUT since I saw this error in 3 nodes (and RF=3 too) in ValidationExecutor at almost the same time (at 3 different times - Probably due to 3 attempts of reruning "repair -pr UserCompletions dsc2b.internal" which never returned from the blocked nodeool command - an each time repair finished the new sstables trigger compations on all involed nodes) can it mean that sstable is not corrupted but just some BAD column name was inserted OK but can not be read later read by ValidationExecutor in any of the replica nodes?

Check the relevant cassandra logs below

Thanks for your help.

I started looking for similar messages on other nodes saw a SINGLE

happened about 12hours before the IllegalArgumentException in  
CompactionExecutor.
This actually does not happen during a flush but during a validation
compaction, which happens during a repair.
The exception is basically saying there is invalid composite column
name (you do use a composite comparator right?).
I guess that could result from some on-disk corruption. Are you using
sstable compression on UserCompletions? (I am asking because
compressed sstables have checksums)

And even bigger problem now is that running repairs on other CFs against
different nodes does not have any effect, for example running
/usr/bin/nodetool -h dsc2b.internal -pr repair PRODUCTION UserDirectVendors
does not trigger any repair activity and nothing in the logs to indicate a
start of repair. And I have ~24hours left to repair some CFs before the gc
period ends :(
Does that happen on every node?
What can happen is that some failed repair may block other from
starting. One thing you can try is to run the method called
forceTerminateAllRepairessions in JMX under
org.apache.cassandra.db->StorageService->Operations (I'm afraid there
is no nodetool hook so you will have to use jconsole). After that, try
starting a repair again. If that doesn't work, it's worth trying to
restart the node.
