    Description

      I've seen this reported quite a few times now:

      ERROR [main] 2012-05-29 19:33:40,589 AbstractCassandraDaemon.java (line 370) Exception encountered during startup

      The common thread seems to be old lineage, from at least 0.7. 1.0.x works fine, but upgrading to 1.1 causes the problem.
