Hi Fred, Corrupted data due to software are quite rare nowadays. I would have a look at the filesystem to first see if everything is ok. I recently had a case where FS was unmounted and mounted back in a read only mode, Cassandra did not like it.
1. You should indeed give a try to: nodetool scrub system compaction_history 2. If this is not working you can bring the node down and run the offline scrub https://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/2.1/cassandra/tools/toolsSSTableScrub_t.html 3. "If running scrub on those sstables doesn't help would it be safe to delete those SSTables?" I am not sure about this one. I would probably go safely by dropping the node, cleaning it and bringing it back (using replace_address --> https://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/2.0/cassandra/operations/ops_replace_node_t.html). Or even remove the server if using a cloud, don't let instances bothering you if you're in the cloud, really... Yet I think this drop on sstable_activity + compaction_history is safe. I am just not sure about it. >From my understanding, the system tables are local (not replicated) which > means that removing those sstables and then run repair wont help. Correct, you will not be able to run repair on the system keyspace due to this (it makes no sense). Hope this will help. If you find out that it is safe (or not) to remove these sstables, I'll be happy to learn about that.
