Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-4843:
---------------------------------------------

bq. but you have to know (or think you know) the partitioner before you can 
actually open up a system table

I don't think you do since the system table keyspace uses LocalStrategy (and 
this is hardcoded). That being said, even if we start saving the partitioner in 
the system table, it's possibly a little late for the upgrade to 1.2. I still 
think we should do it for 1.1.7 though (but to be clear, I'm all for keeping 
the panic doublecheck when we open a sstable because that protects again a 
different problem anyway).
