Someone else having what looks like this same issue (in C* 2.0.2 iirc) came
into #cassandra yesterday.

I encourage you to :

1) search the apache cassandra JIRA for an existing ticket on this problem
2) if one does not exist, file a ticket including the error log and as much
info to help reproduce the issue as possible

By not running X.Y.Z in production where Z<= 5.

But seriously, in general people nuke node state until the node starts, and
then replace/repair the node.

This problem exists in general when you DROP and reCREATE tables and
keyspaces.

The workaround is to use TRUNCATE and then ALTER instead of DROP and CREATE.
