This may not be directly related to the upgrade to 1.1.2, but I was running on 1.1.0 for a while with no issues, and I did the upgrade to 1.1.2 a few days ago.
2 of my nodes started throwing lots of promote exceptions, and then a lot of the beforeAppend exceptions from then on every few minutes. This is on the high update CF that's using leveled compaction and compression. The other 3 nodes are not experiencing this. I can send entire log files if desired. These 2 nodes now have much higher load #'s then the other 3, and I'm assuming that's because they are failing with the compaction errors? $ INFO [CompactionExecutor:1783] 2012-07-13 07:35:23,268 CompactionTask.java (line 109) Compacting [SSTableReader(path='/opt/cassandra/data/MonitoringData/Properties/MonitoringData-Properties-hd-392322-Data$ ERROR [CompactionExecutor:1783] 2012-07-13 07:35:29,696 AbstractCassandraDaemon.java (line 134) Exception in thread Thread[CompactionExecutor:1783,1,main] java.lang.AssertionError at org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.LeveledManifest.promote(LeveledManifest.java:214) at org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.LeveledCompactionStrategy.handleNotification(LeveledCompactionStrategy.java:158) at org.apache.cassandra.db.DataTracker.notifySSTablesChanged(DataTracker.java:531) at org.apache.cassandra.db.DataTracker.replaceCompactedSSTables(DataTracker.java:254) at org.apache.cassandra.db.ColumnFamilyStore.replaceCompactedSSTables(ColumnFamilyStore.java:978) at org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.CompactionTask.execute(CompactionTask.java:200) at org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.LeveledCompactionTask.execute(LeveledCompactionTask.java:50) at org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.CompactionManager$1.runMayThrow(CompactionManager.java:150) at org.apache.cassandra.utils.WrappedRunnable.run(WrappedRunnable.java:30) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask$Sync.innerRun(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) INFO [CompactionExecutor:3310] 2012-07-16 11:14:02,481 CompactionTask.java (line 109) Compacting [SSTableReader(path='/opt/cassandra/data/MonitoringData/Properties/MonitoringData-Properties-hd-369173-Data$ ERROR [CompactionExecutor:3310] 2012-07-16 11:14:04,031 AbstractCassandraDaemon.java (line 134) Exception in thread Thread[CompactionExecutor:3310,1,main] java.lang.RuntimeException: Last written key DecoratedKey(150919285004100953907590722809541628889, 5b30363334353237652d383966382d653031312d623131632d3030313535643031373530325d5b436f6d70757465725b4d5350422d$ at org.apache.cassandra.io.sstable.SSTableWriter.beforeAppend(SSTableWriter.java:134) at org.apache.cassandra.io.sstable.SSTableWriter.append(SSTableWriter.java:153) at org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.CompactionTask.execute(CompactionTask.java:159) at org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.LeveledCompactionTask.execute(LeveledCompactionTask.java:50) at org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.CompactionManager$1.runMayThrow(CompactionManager.java:150) at org.apache.cassandra.utils.WrappedRunnable.run(WrappedRunnable.java:30) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask$Sync.innerRun(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
