Stefan Podkowinski commented on CASSANDRA-11349:
------------------------------------------------
[~frousseau], what makes things more complicated here is that changes to LCR
will effect regular compactions as well. Adding all tombstones as expired in
your {{11349-2.1-v2.patch}} will have unwanted side effects for regular
compactions, e.g. try {{RangeTombstoneMergeTest}} with it.
I've now spend some time trying to make use of the RT.Tracker there but without
much success. Adding non-expired range tombstones to the tracker from within
LCR would cause corrupted sstables. Even creating an edge case just for
validation compaction would not handle all potential TS shadowing scenarios and
will probably cause more harm than good (and potential digest mismatch storms).
I'm not even sure it's possible given the current iterative MergeIterator >
LazilyCompactedRow > RT.Tracker interaction.
I'm now at a point where I'd suggest to just stick with {{11349-2.1.patch}}
unless someone else has a better idea how to solve this. I've updated the
[dtest PR|https://github.com/riptano/cassandra-dtest/pull/881] with two of the
described shadowing scenarios that will only work with 3.0+ even after the
patch, if someone wants to give it a try.

> MerkleTree mismatch when multiple range tombstones exists for the same
> partition and interval

> Key: CASSANDRA-11349
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11349
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Fabien Rousseau
> Assignee: Stefan Podkowinski
> Labels: repair
> Fix For: 2.1.x, 2.2.x
>
> Attachments: 11349-2.1-v2.patch, 11349-2.1.patch

> We observed that repair, for some of our clusters, streamed a lot of data and
> many partitions were "out of sync".
> Moreover, the read repair mismatch ratio is around 3% on those clusters,
> which is really high.
> After investigation, it appears that, if two range tombstones exists for a
> partition for the same range/interval, they're both included in the merkle
> tree computation.
> But, if for some reason, on another node, the two range tombstones were
> already compacted into a single range tombstone, this will result in a merkle
> tree difference.
> Currently, this is clearly bad because MerkleTree differences are dependent
> on compactions (and if a partition is deleted and created multiple times, the
> only way to ensure that repair "works correctly"/"don't overstream data" is
> to major compact before each repair... which is not really feasible).
> Below is a list of steps allowing to easily reproduce this case:
> {noformat}
> ccm create test -v 2.1.13 -n 2 -s
> ccm node1 cqlsh
> CREATE KEYSPACE test_rt WITH replication = {'class': 'SimpleStrategy',
> 'replication_factor': 2};
> USE test_rt;
> CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS table1 (
> c1 text,
> c2 text,
> c3 float,
> c4 float,
> PRIMARY KEY ((c1), c2)
> );
> INSERT INTO table1 (c1, c2, c3, c4) VALUES ( 'a', 'b', 1, 2);
> DELETE FROM table1 WHERE c1 = 'a' AND c2 = 'b';
> ctrl ^d
> # now flush only one of the two nodes
> ccm node1 flush
> ccm node1 cqlsh
> USE test_rt;
> INSERT INTO table1 (c1, c2, c3, c4) VALUES ( 'a', 'b', 1, 3);
> DELETE FROM table1 WHERE c1 = 'a' AND c2 = 'b';
> ctrl ^d
> ccm node1 repair
> # now grep the log and observe that there was some inconstencies detected
> between nodes (while it shouldn't have detected any)
> ccm node1 showlog | grep "out of sync"
> {noformat}
> Consequences of this are a costly repair, accumulating many small SSTables
> (up to thousands for a rather short period of time when using VNodes, the
> time for compaction to absorb those small files), but also an increased size
> on disk.
