Hi Sorin, The PreparedQueryNotFoundException is not thrown from Cassandra.Client>>execute_prepared_cql3_query method. I created some prepared statements and then re-started cassandra and received the following exception:
InvalidRequestException(why: Prepared query with ID 1124421588 not found (either the query was not prepared on this host (maybe the host has been restarted?) or you have prepared more than 100000 queries and queries 1124421588 has been evicted from the internal cache)) The best I have been able to come up with is the following: try { client.execute_prepared_cql3_query(psId, bindValues, ..); } catch (InvalidRequestException invEx) { String why = invEx.getWhy(); CLogger.logger().warning(why); if(why.startsWith("Prepared query with ID")) { rebuildPreparedStatement(preparedStatement); client.execute_prepared_cql3_query(psId, bindValues, ..); } else { throw invEx; } } Obviously this is pretty fragile and would break if the cassandra message was changed...but it least it works for now!
