We used to have a nice test cluster with 2 nodes and everything was peachy. At some point we (re)added a third node, which seems to work allright. But then we try to delete one CF and requery it and we get this:
root@pnscassandra03:~# cqlsh -3 [cqlsh 2.2.0 | Cassandra 1.1.2hebex1 | CQL spec 3.0.0 | Thrift protocol 19.32.0] cqlsh:test_restore> drop table cf1; cqlsh:test_restore> select count (*) from cf1; count ------- 6703 "Of course" if we drop the CF from nodes 1 or 2 it disappears as expected: cqlsh:test_restore> drop table cf1; cqlsh:test_restore> select count (*) from cf1; Bad Request: unconfigured columnfamily cf1 As it's a test cluster and several people had used it on and off to do some tests, including the restore tests I posted about last week, I can't say exactly what happened with this machines. All I can say it's that logs look good[1]. I also have the debug logs if they're useful. Other info in the setup: Virtual machines running ubuntu 12.04, sun's java6, and nothing much changed from the default config. KS created as: CREATE KEYSPACE test_restore WITH strategy_class = 'SimpleStrategy' AND strategy_options:replication_factor = '2'; USE test_restore; CREATE TABLE cf2 ( id int PRIMARY KEY, val text ) WITH comment='' AND comparator=text AND read_repair_chance=0.100000 AND gc_grace_seconds=864000 AND default_validation=text AND min_compaction_threshold=4 AND max_compaction_threshold=32 AND replicate_on_write='true' AND compaction_strategy_class='SizeTieredCompactionStrategy' AND compression_parameters:sstable_compression='SnappyCompressor'; and the deceased cf1 is similar to cf2. Any ideas? -- [1] http://pastebin.lugmen.org.ar/7647 -- Marcos Dione SysAdmin Astek Sud-Est pour FT/TGPF/OPF/PORTAIL/DOP/HEBEX @ Marco Polo 04 97 12 62 45 - mdione....@orange.com _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ce message et ses pieces jointes peuvent contenir des informations confidentielles ou privilegiees et ne doivent donc pas etre diffuses, exploites ou copies sans autorisation.
