Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-9749:
-------------------------------------------
We had a discussion about this a while ago on another ticket -- basically,
there's absolutely nothing the user can do about it so there is not much point
in refusing to continue.
I don't think blurring the disk_failure_policy/commit_failure_policy mission
statements is a good idea either. These are supposed to be for
IOException/IOError hardware failures of "I couldn't read/write the data at
all" not "I could read the data but it wasn't what I wanted."

> Key: CASSANDRA-9749
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9749
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Blake Eggleston
> Assignee: Branimir Lambov
> Fix For: 2.2.0 rc2
>
>
> There are a few places where the commit log recovery method either skips
> sections or just returns when it encounters errors.
> Specifically if it can't read the header here:
> https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/db/commitlog/CommitLogReplayer.java#L298
> Or if there are compressor problems here:
> https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/db/commitlog/CommitLogReplayer.java#L314
> and here:
> https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/db/commitlog/CommitLogReplayer.java#L366
> Whether these are user-fixable or not, I think we should require more direct
> user intervention (ie: fix what's wrong, or remove the bad file and restart)
> since we're basically losing data.
