Blake Eggleston commented on CASSANDRA-9749:
--------------------------------------------
I agree with [~benedict]. If the CL has errors, I think the right thing to do
would be to refuse to startup and instruct the operator to remove the bad
segment, restart, then run a repair. Technically, the recovering node shouldn't
participate in any paxos rounds until the repair is complete either.
> 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.x
>
>
> 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.
