Description

When restarting any Cassandra node we've got exception:

ERROR 09:42:27,869 Exception encountered during startup.
java.io.IOException: Failed to delete C:\cassandra\data\commitlog\CommitLog-1280817512228.log

Aftrer exception was thrown and Cassandra didn't started, within commitlog directory there's only one file: CommitLog-1280817512228.log
and no CommitLog-1280817512228.log.header. Looks like CommitLog-1280817512228.log was a new file, not the last one after stopping service.

After few restarts .log file is deleted and Cassandra is working fine until next restart.
