Hi C* Community We had a strange observation which we are unable to understand -
Initial config - native_transport_port_ssl : true native_transport_port : 9042 With the above config application / driver was unable to connect to different nodes and whenever even one node went down / was drained DSE driver complained with NoNodeAvailableException. This is with Cassandra 4.0. Our hunch is that we faced - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16999. Then we changed the config to - Remove - (native_transport_port_ssl : true) native_transport_port : 9142 Now the application behaves fine and nodetool drain doesn't cause any issues. However, what was strange was that as soon as cassandra.yaml was changed to above config the application / driver stopped showing errors which used to appear in DSE trace level logs while the driver used to connect to the 9042 port. How is it possible that the configs got applied even before a single cassandra node was restarted ? Thanks Shaurya -- Shaurya Gupta
