Charlemange Lasse commented on CASSANDRA-15298:
-----------------------------------------------
[~maxwellguo] I think you are completely missing the point of this ticket. I've
already said that the cql describe is missing the already deleted columns in
the tables and thus will not create the "ALTER TABLE mykeyspace.testcf DROP
deleted_column USING TIMESTAMP 1563978151561000;" cql statements. And as you
showed yourself, the command will also not omit the table/index stuff and thus
cannot be used together with the snapshot's */schema.cql files.
I will stop discussing with you since you are talking about something
completely else.

> I have a single cassandra 3.11.4 node. It contains various tables and UDFs.
> The [documentation describes a method to backup this
> node|https://docs.datastax.com/en/archived/cassandra/3.0/cassandra/operations/opsBackupTakesSnapshot.html]:
> * use "DESCRIBE SCHEMA" in cqlsh to get the schema
> * create a snapshot using nodetool
> * copy the snapshot + schema to a new (completely disconnected) node
> * load schema into new node
> * load sstables again using nodetool
> But this is a complete bogus method. It will result in errors like:
>
> {noformat}
> java.lang.RuntimeException: Unknown column deleted_column during
> deserialization {noformat}
> And all data in this column is now lost.
> Problem is that the "DESCRIBE SCHEMA" CQL doesn't add the stuff correctly for
> already deleted (but still existing columns) to the schema. It looks for
> example like:
> {noformat}
> CREATE TABLE mykeyspace.testcf (
> primary_uuid uuid,
> secondary_uuid uuid,
> name text,
> PRIMARY KEY (main_uuid, secondary_uuid)
> ) WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY (secondary_uuid ASC)
> AND bloom_filter_fp_chance = 0.01
> AND caching = {'keys': 'ALL', 'rows_per_partition': 'NONE'}
> AND comment = ''
> AND compaction = {'class':
> 'org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.SizeTieredCompactionStrategy',
> 'max_threshold': '32', 'min_threshold': '4'}
> AND compression = {'chunk_length_in_kb': '64', 'class':
> 'org.apache.cassandra.io.compress.LZ4Compressor'}
> AND crc_check_chance = 1.0
> AND dclocal_read_repair_chance = 0.1
> AND default_time_to_live = 0
> AND gc_grace_seconds = 864000
> AND max_index_interval = 2048
> AND memtable_flush_period_in_ms = 0
> AND min_index_interval = 128
> AND read_repair_chance = 0.0
> AND speculative_retry = '99PERCENTILE';
> {noformat}
> But it must actually look like:
> {noformat}
> CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS mykeyspace.testcf (
> primary_uuid uuid,
> secondary_uuid uuid,
> name text,
> deleted_column boolean,
> PRIMARY KEY (main_uuid, secondary_uuid)
> WITH ID = a1afdd4d-b61e-4f2a-b806-57c296be3948
> AND CLUSTERING ORDER BY (ap_uuid ASC)
> AND bloom_filter_fp_chance = 0.01

> This was taken from the snapshot's (column family specific) schema.cql. Which
> of course is not compatible with the main schema because it will only create
> the tables when they don't exist (which they are because the main "DESCRIBE
> SCHEMA" file already creates them) and is missing all other kind of stuff
> like UDFs.
> It is currently not possible (using the builtin mechanisms from cassandra
> 3.11.4) to migrate a keyspace from one separated server to another separated
> server.
> This behavior also breaks various backup systems which try to store cassandra
> cluster information to an offline storage.
