Hi Everyone, have a nice day and let me ask for your help.
I'm using Cassandra 2.2.7. Since yesterday I'm getting the exception while connecting to the cluster via java driver (I'm using v3.0.3 ): [main] ERROR c.datastax.driver.core.SchemaParser - Error parsing schema from Cassandra system tables: the schema in Cluster#getMetadata() will appear incomplete or stale java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Multiple entries with same key: type=[I@c86b9e3 and type=[I@10aa41f2 at com.google.common.collect.ImmutableMap.checkNoConflict(ImmutableMap.java:136) ~[guava-19.0.jar:na] at com.google.common.collect.RegularImmutableMap.checkNoConflictInKeyBucket(RegularImmutableMap.java:98) ~[guava-19.0.jar:na] at com.google.common.collect.RegularImmutableMap.fromEntryArray(RegularImmutableMap.java:84) ~[guava-19.0.jar:na] at com.google.common.collect.ImmutableMap$Builder.build(ImmutableMap.java:295) ~[guava-19.0.jar:na] at com.datastax.driver.core.UserType.<init>(UserType.java:62) ~[cassandra-driver-core-3.0.3.jar:na] at com.datastax.driver.core.UserType.build(UserType.java:85) ~[cassandra-driver-core-3.0.3.jar:na] at com.datastax.driver.core.SchemaParser.buildUserTypes(SchemaParser.java:196) ~[cassandra-driver-core-3.0.3.jar:na] at com.datastax.driver.core.SchemaParser.buildKeyspaces(SchemaParser.java:127) ~[cassandra-driver-core-3.0.3.jar:na] at com.datastax.driver.core.SchemaParser.refresh(SchemaParser.java:64) ~[cassandra-driver-core-3.0.3.jar:na] at com.datastax.driver.core.ControlConnection.refreshSchema(ControlConnection.java:337) [cassandra-driver-core-3.0.3.jar:na] at com.datastax.driver.core.ControlConnection.tryConnect(ControlConnection.java:277) [cassandra-driver-core-3.0.3.jar:na] at com.datastax.driver.core.ControlConnection.reconnectInternal(ControlConnection.java:201) [cassandra-driver-core-3.0.3.jar:na] at com.datastax.driver.core.ControlConnection.connect(ControlConnection.java:79) [cassandra-driver-core-3.0.3.jar:na] at com.datastax.driver.core.Cluster$Manager.init(Cluster.java:1424) [cassandra-driver-core-3.0.3.jar:na] at com.datastax.driver.core.Cluster.init(Cluster.java:163) [cassandra-driver-core-3.0.3.jar:na] at com.datastax.driver.core.Cluster.connectAsync(Cluster.java:334) [cassandra-driver-core-3.0.3.jar:na] at com.datastax.driver.core.Cluster.connect(Cluster.java:284) [cassandra-driver-core-3.0.3.jar:na] I discovered, that problem is related with some of my User Defined Types. For example, I had UDF comment with the definition: CREATE TYPE ks.comment ( id int, from_id int, date bigint, text text, attachments frozen<list<frozen<attachment_container>>> ) but now when I'm querying through cqlsh with DESC TYPE ks.comment, I can see that all fields got duplicated: CREATE TYPE veil.comment ( id int, from_id int, date bigint, text text, likes frozen<likes>, id int, from_id int, date bigint, text text, likes frozen<likes> ) Some of my other observations: - data seems fine. SELECT comments FROM post through cqlsh gives data without duplicates or empty space for duplicate fields. - only those UDT's got messy, which contains other UDT's as a field (field likes in the example above). *First question:* how is that even possible? If you try to create such type, you'll get an error like Duplicate field name .. in type ... *Second question:* what are the possible ways to handle this? Can I just ALTER these types to their initial definitions without risk of data loss? Thanks a lot for your time, any suggestion would be appreciated. P.S. Also, excuse me please for poor grammar and possible mistakes with appealing to mailing list -- I'm quite new to this.
