this is really troubling…

I have a "ghost" table.  I dropped it.. but it's not going away.

(Cassandra 2.0.8 btw)

I ran a 'drop table' on it.. then a 'describe tables' shows that it's not
there.

However, when I recreated it, with a new schema, all operations on it
failed.

Looking at why… it seems that cassandra had some old SSTables that I
imagine are no longer being used but are now in an inconsistent state?

This is popping up in the system.log:

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.FileNotFoundException:
/d0/cassandra/data/blogindex/content_idx_source_hashcode/blogindex-content_idx_source_hashcode-jb-1447-Data.db
(No such file or directory)

so I think what happened… is that the original drop table, failed, and then
left things in an inconsistent state.

I tried a nodetool repair and a nodetool compact… those fail on the
same java.io.FileNotFoundException … I moved the directories out of the
way, same failure issue.

… any advice on resolving this?
