Comment 1 for bug 1765590

Ping,

Whom/Where did you receive these recovery steps from?
Could you check if they removed, they followed below steps?

rm -rf /var/lib/cassandra/commitlog/*
rm -f /var/log/cassandra/status-up

This was the recommended approach from analytics team who were handling Cassandra.
