Hi experts!
Seems, that we have a data loss after a rolling update of our Cassandra 2.2.7 nodes. The nodes failed to start with an exception: IllegalStateException: empty rows returned when reading system.schema_keyspaces à ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12351) *Workaround mentioned in the ticket:*- *Stop node , *- *remove sstables in data/system/schema_keyspaces/*- *restart.* * After a restart expect load to be higher for a short period.* In our case the deleted system_keyspace-table is rebuild but it doesn’t contain the data-keyspaces anymore!!! The data still seem to be on disk... Did someone also encounter this issue and solved it using the above workaround? Do we need to add the meta-information for the existing keyspaces manually to that table? Do we need to wait (according to the warning in the workaround) for the tables/keyspaces to recover itself? What can we do to get the keyspaces and data back? Many thanks in advance, Bastian
