There is a write in the commit log that has an invalid row key. The logs will say which file it was replaying, try removing that and restarting it.
What client were you using to write to the cluster? What are you using for the keys ? Note: this could result in data loss on the one node because writes in the commit log may not be committed to sstables. If you have been using QUOURM / QUOURM this should not be a problem. > at > org.apache.cassandra.dht.OrderPreservingPartitioner.getToken(OrderPreservingPartitioner.java:170) If you are just starting out I strongly encourage you to use the RandomPartitioner rather than the OderPreservingPartitioner.
