Hello,
I've found a combination that doesn't work:
A column family that have a secondary index and caching='ALL' with
data in two datacenters and I do a restart of the nodes, then my
secondary index queries start returning 0 rows.
It happens when amount of data goes over a certain threshold, so I
suspect that compactions are involved in this as well.
Taking out one of the ingredients fixes the problem and my queries
return rows from secondary index.
I suspect that this guy is struggling with the same thing
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4785
Here is a sequence of actions that reproduces it with help of CCM:
$ ccm create --cassandra-version 1.2.1 --nodes 2 -p RandomPartitioner
testRowCacheDC
$ ccm updateconf 'endpoint_snitch: PropertyFileSnitch'
$ ccm updateconf 'row_cache_size_in_mb: 200'
$ cp ~/Downloads/cassandra-topology.properties
~/.ccm/testRowCacheDC/node1/conf/ (please find .properties file
below)
$ cp ~/Downloads/cassandra-topology.properties ~/.ccm/testRowCacheDC/node2/conf/
$ ccm start
$ ccm cli
->create keyspace and column family(please find schema below)
$ python populate_rowcache.py
$ ccm stop (I tried flush first, doesn't help)
$ ccm start
$ ccm cli
