Constance Eustace commented on CASSANDRA-6086:
----------------------------------------------
Well, how would one repair this for now, beyond reconstructing a virgin node
and then replication? If there are counters, certainly you could provide an
option for an admin to reset them or accept invalid values and get access to
the rest of the data, or mark it in some (tombstone-ish?) way that other nodes
with more accurate values for the counters can then replicate the correct state?

> ColumnFamilyStore.removeUnfinishedCompactionLeftovers when find that some to
> be removed files are already removed

> Replaced throw of excepion with dump of diagnostic warning and continue
