I've upgraded a node from 2.0.10 to 2.1.6. Before taking down the node, I've run nodetool upgradesstables and nodetool scrub.
When starting up the node with 2.1.6, I'm getting a MarshalException (stacktrace included below). For some reason, it seems that C* is trying to convert a text value from the column 'currencyCode' to a UUID, which it isn't. I've had similar errors for two other columns as well, which I could work around by dropping the table, since it wasn't used anymore. The only thing I could do was restoring a snapshot and starting up the old 2.0.10 again. Does anyone have an idea how this can be fixed?
