Description

CASSANDRA-7953 can lead to range tombstones not properly being compacted. When trying to upgrade from Cassandra 2.0.X to 2.1.X, running upgradesstables (either via nodetool OR the offline version) does not work, as it crashes with OOM. This essentially means if you are running a version of Cassandra 2.0.X for a period of time where lots of range tombstones have been generated; you will be unable to upgrade to Cassandra 2.1.X following the normal procedures. Hence upgrade from 2.0.X to 2.1.X is essentially broken if you hit CASSANDRA-7953.

I hit this while trying to upgrade to Cassandra 2.1.17.
