T Jake Luciani commented on CASSANDRA-9749:
-------------------------------------------

bq. here's absolutely nothing the user can do about it so there is not much 
point in refusing to continue.

Is there any precedence for this in other databases? Seems like a pretty 
serious choice for a database to make.  

While we discuss this bigger issue can we at least log these as an error 
[~blambov] ?

> 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.
