Hi.
After updating Cassandra from 1.1.5 to 1.1.6. Every schema updates ends with
strange error exception in system.log and I must to restart nodes in cluster
for whom `describe cluster` says that nodes are unreachable.
Neither `nodetool repair` or `nodetool upgragesstables` doesn't help. Only
double restarting of service helps, the first restart throws the same error,
the second restart doesn't and starts node normally.
Error log:
ERROR [FlushWriter:8] 2012-11-28 10:57:50,503 AbstractCassandraDaemon.java
(line 135) Exception in thread Thread[FlushWriter:8,5,main]
java.lang.AssertionError: Keys must not be empty
