-------------------------------------------
Summary: Dropping non existent table using IF EXISTS throws
Exception
Key: CASSANDRA-6708
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6708
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Components: API
Environment: Ubuntu 12.0.4 with 8+ GB RAM and 40GB hard disk for data
directory.
Reporter: Christoph Werres
Priority: Minor
When using cqlsh console and dropping a non existent table, an exception is
thrown although the IF EXISTS condition was given. Also when using the Java
driver, an InvalidQueryException is thrown in such a situation. This is very
misleading in applications that suppose such requests to be valid. In earlier
versions it was a no-op call in that case. This is cqlsh output using Cassandra
2.0.5 version:
{noformat}
[cqlsh 4.4.4 | Cassandra 2-0-5 | CQL spec 3.1.1 | Thrift protocol 19.39.0]
Use HELP for help.
