Hello all

Trying to load some SSTables using nodetool refresh gibing me the following error:

sstables::malformed_sstable_exception (Empty TOC in sstable /var/lib/scylla/data/edm/zeitreihe-f4e0fec02f3a11f0a243ef45d6d60258/upload/mc-855-big-TOC.txt in sstable /var/lib/scylla/data/edm/zeitreihe-f4e0fec02f3a11f0a243ef45d6d60258/upload/mc-855-big-TOC.txt)

The content of the file mc-855-big-TOC.txt is:

TOC.txt
Summary.db
Index.db
CompressionInfo.db
Filter.db
Data.db
Digest.crc32
Statistics.db

Relevant code is in sstables.cc line from 815:

future<> sstable::read_toc() noexcept {
    if (_recognized_components.size()) {
        co_return;
    }

    try {
        co_await do_read_simple(component_type::TOC, [&] (version_types v, file f) -> future<> {
            auto comps = co_await read_and_parse_toc(f);
            for (auto& c: comps) {
                // accept trailing newlines
                if (c == "") {
                    continue;
                }
                try {
                    _recognized_components.insert(reverse_map(c, sstable_version_constants::get_component_map(_version)));
                } catch (std::out_of_range& oor) {
                    _unrecognized_components.push_back(c);
                    sstlog.info("Unrecognized TOC component was found: {} in sstable {}", c, toc_filename());
                }
            }
            if (!_recognized_components.size()) {
                throw malformed_sstable_exception("Empty TOC", toc_filename());
            }
        });
    } catch (std::system_error& e) {
        if (e.code() == std::error_code(ENOENT, std::system_category())) {
            throw malformed_sstable_exception(fmt::format("{}: file not found", toc_filename()));
        }
        throw;
    }
}

Anyone can help?

Thanks a lot.
