Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-2633:
-------------------------------------------
getPosition only affects start of scan, not end.
> Keys get lost in bootstrap
> --------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-2633
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2633
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 0.7.5
> Reporter: Richard Low
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: 0.7-2633.txt

> Original Estimate: 0h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> When bootstrapping a new node, the key at the upper end of the new node's
> range can get lost. To reproduce:
> * Set up one cassandra node, create a keyspace and column family and perform
> some inserts
> * Read every row back
> * Bootstrap a second node
> * Read every row back
> You find one row is missing, whose row key is exactly equal to the token the
> new node gets (for OPP - for RP it's the key whose hash is equal to the
> token). If you don't do the reads after the inserts, the key is not lost. I
> tracked the problem down to o.a.c.io.sstable.SSTableReader in getPosition.
> The problem is that the cached position is used if it is there (so only if
> the reads were performed). But this is incorrect because the cached position
> is the start of the row, not the end. This means the end row itself is not
> transferred. This causes the last key in the range to get lost.
> Although I haven't seen it, this may occur during antientropy repairs too.
> The attached patch (against the 0.7 branch) fixes it by not using the cache
> for Operator.GT. I haven't tested with 0.8 but from looking at the code I
> think the problem is present.
> This might be related to CASSANDRA-1992
