Jeremiah Jordan commented on CASSANDRA-9749:
--------------------------------------------
In the case of the compression type there is something the user can do, go find
the jar file they forgot to put back after upgrading or something. So at the
very least if we see something compressed with a class we don't know about we
should abort startup and tell the user to fix it.
> CommitLogReplayer continues startup after encountering errors

> 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.
