> Hints ignored during Upgrade from C*4 to C*5

>
> Key: CASSANDRA-20118
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-20118
> Project: Apache Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Consistency/Hints
> Reporter: Paul Chandler
> Assignee: Brandon Williams
> Priority: Normal
> Fix For: 5.0.x

> Attachments: 4-1system-third-node.log, 4-1system.log, 5-0system.log

> I have discovered that some hints were not being processed after nodes come
> back up when a cluster in in a mixed mode with some cassandra 4 nodes and
> some cassdandra 5 nodes ( these with a storage compatibility mode CASSANDRA_4
> )
>
> When in this mode there is a schema mismatch after the first node has been
> upgraded, which continues until the last node has been upgraded.
> It seems that the hints are blocked from being sent if there is a schema
> mismatch between the 2 nodes, that can be seen at this line.

> I have tested removing this line, and that then does allow the hint to be
> transferred normally. However I am not sure of the implications for doing
> that if the hint is for part of the schema where the actual mismatch occurs.
>
> This creates the problem when a node is being upgraded and is currently down,
> hint files will be created for it on the new cassandra 5 nodes and the old
> cassandra 4 nodes, but the hint files on the old cassandra 4 nodes will not
> be processed, due to the schema mismatch. Leading to potential data loss.
