Hi, Today we rebooted a node in our cluster for maintenance and after that one of the keyspaces went missing. This is what we did leading up to this:
nodetool drain -h localhost reboot restart cassandra There was an error during startup: ERROR [MutationStage:109] 2012-08-08 14:05:56,443 RowMutationVerbHandler.java (line 61) Error in row mutation org.apache.cassandra.db.UnknownColumnFamilyException: Couldn't find cfId=1014 (then we found keyspace twitter is missing) The sstables are still there so I tried to re-create the keyspace: cassandra-cli -h localhost [default@unknown] create keyspace twitter with placement_strategy = 'org.apache.cassandra.locator.SimpleStrategy' and strategy_options = {replication_factor:3} ; b890b65a-40a6-3fc5-838d-34d58368cb64 Waiting for schema agreement... ... schemas agree across the cluster NotFoundException() default@unknown] use twitter; Keyspace 'twitter' not found. So we can't create the keyspace. The cassandra version is 1.1.0. What is the proper way to deal with this? Thanks for your help. Arend-Jan -- Arend-Jan Wijtzes -- Wiseguys -- www.wise-guys.nl
