Yes, I got the gist of what you were after, even making sure I broke out the schema dump and load them in individually, but I haven't gotten that far. It feels like the 2 node that are not coming up with the right schema are not seeing the nodes with the correct ones.
And yes, I hear the beat of the upgrade drum, I was hoping to do one step at a time so I don't carry my problem over.

Going through the process that you sent, when I restart the nodes, the original schema's show up If you do not stop all nodes at once and then remove the system CFs, the existing schema will re-propogate via Gossip. To be clear, I was suggesting that you dump the schema with cassandra-cli, erase the current schema with the cluster down, bring the cluster back up (NOW WITH NO SCHEMA) and then load the schema from the dump via cassandra-cli. Also, in case I didn't mention it before, you should upgrade your version of Cassandra ASAP. :) =Rob
