Can someone share the content on this link please, I’m aware of issues where 
recreating key spaces can cause inconsistency in 2.0.13 if memTables are not 
flushed beforehand , is this the issues that is resolved?

Thanks Mark (though that article doesn't appear publicly accessible for others).
Truncate would have been the tool of choice, however my understanding is 
truncate fails unless all nodes are up and running which makes it a 
non-workable choice since we can't determine when failures will occur.

We've been running into the reused key cache issue (CASSANDRA-5202) with 
dropping and recreating the same table in Cassandra 1.2.18 so we've been 
testing with key caches disabled which does not seem to solve the issue.  In 
the latest logs it seems that old SSTables metadata gets read after the tables 
have been deleted by the previous drop, eventually causing an exception and the 
Thrift interface shut down.

At this point is it a known issue that one CANNOT reuse a table name prior to 
Cassandra 2.1 ?
