----------------------------------------
Summary: sstable2json (and possibly other command-line tools) hang
if no write permission to the commitlogs
Key: CASSANDRA-7723
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7723
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: J.B. Langston
sstable2json (and potentially other command-line tools that call
DatabaseDescriptor.loadSchemas) will hang if the user running them doesn't have
write permission on the commit logs. loadSchemas calls Schema.updateVersion,
which causes a mutation to the system tables, then it just spins forever trying
to acquire a commit log segment. See this thread dump:
https://gist.github.com/markcurtis1970/837e770d1cad5200943c. The tools should
recognize this and present an understandable error message.
