The following page has been changed by JonathanEllis: http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/FAQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cassandra is a gossip-based distributed system. ListenAddress is also "contact me here address," i.e., the address it tells other nodes to reach it at. Telling other nodes "contact me on any of my addresses" is a bad idea; if different nodes in the cluster pick different addresses for you, Bad Things happen. - If you don't want to manually specify an IP to ListenAddress for each node in your cluster (understandable!), leave it blank and Cassandra will use InetAddress.getLocalHost() to pick an address. Then it's up to your sysadmin to make things resolve correctly (/etc/hosts/, dns, etc). + If you don't want to manually specify an IP to ListenAddress for each node in your cluster (understandable!), leave it blank and Cassandra will use InetAddress.getLocalHost() to pick an address. Then it's up to you or your ops team to make things resolve correctly (/etc/hosts/, dns, etc). See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-256 and CASSANDRA-43 for more gory details.
