Andy Tolbert commented on CASSANDRA-11595:
------------------------------------------

I think the safest choice here is to prevent C* from starting and to let the
administrator deal with the problem. As in this case the file is obviously
empty the solution to the problem is pretty clear.
Andy Tolbert you are talking in my opinion of a different problem in the same
area that affect 2.1 where C* has probably crashed after the resize.
I will clause the ticket as Not A Problem as C* behaved as expected.
