Description

I've 4 node cluster of Cassandra 1.0.9. There is a rfTest3 keyspace with RF=3 and one CF with two secondary indexes. I'm importing data into this CF using Hadoop Mapreduce job, each row has less than 10 colkumns. From JMX:
MaxRowSize: 1597
MeanRowSize: 369

And there are some tens of millions of rows.

It's write-heavy usage and there is a big pressure on each node, there are quite some dropped mutations on each node. After ~12 hours of inserting I see these assertion exceptiona on 3 out of four nodes:

Few lines regarding Hints from the output.log:

I think the problem may be somehow connected to an IntegerType secondary index. I had a different problem with CF with two secondary indexes, the first UTF8Type, the second IntegerType. After a few hours of inserting data in the afternoon and midnight repair+compact, the next day I couldn't find any row using the IntegerType secondary index. The output was like this:

[default@rfTest3] get IndexTest where col1 = '3230727:http://zaskolak.cz/download.php';
-------------------
RowKey: 3230727:8383582:http://zaskolak.cz/download.php

3 Rows Returned.

[default@rfTest3] get IndexTest where col2 = 8383583;

0 Row Returned.
Elapsed time: 7 msec(s

You can see there really is an 8383583 in col2 in on of the listed rows, but the search by secondary index returns nothing.

The Assert Exception also happend only on CF with the secondary index of IntegerType. There were also secondary indexes of UTF8Type and
LongType types. It's the first time I've tried secondary indexes of other type than UTF8Type.
