Evan Prothro commented on CASSANDRA-12215:
------------------------------------------
Hau's comment seems related in our minds, since similarly, if we copy to /
clear / recreate table / copy from and then set gc_grace_seconds to something
small, running compaction results in a crash again.
Stranger still, if we copy to / clear / create a different keyspace / create a
differently named table with same schema (with static column) / copy from, and
then set gc_grace_seconds to ensure a compaction, running compaction still
results in a crash.
However, when we copy to / clear / recreate table with different schema (same
but with no static column) / copy from and then set gc_grace_seconds to
something small, we see no tombstones, and compaction runs successfully.
We have various other anecdotal experiments, but hesitate to expound just yet
for fear of confusion. Please let us know if there's something further we can
look at or result we can provide to help isolate this.

> production environment, the copy, truncate, and copy will no longer be an
> option.
