Sandeep More updated CASSANDRA-9208:
------------------------------------
Description:
In the cassandra.yaml file when "rpc_interface" option is set it causes a NPE
(stack trace at the end).
Upon further investigation it turns out that there is a serious problem is in
the way this logic is handled in the code DatabaseDescriptor.java (#374).
Following is the code snippet
else if (conf.rpc_interface != null)
{
listenAddress = getNetworkInterfaceAddress(conf.rpc_interface,
"rpc_interface");
}
else
{
rpcAddress = FBUtilities.getLocalAddress();
}
If you notice,
1) The code above sets the "listenAddress" instead of "rpcAddress".
2) The function getNetworkInterfaceAddress() blindly assumes that this is
called to set the "listenAddress" (see line 171). The "configName" variable
passed to the function is royally ignored and only used for printing out
exception (which again is misleading)
I am also attaching a suggested patch (NOTE: the patch tries to address this
issue, the function getNetworkInterfaceAddress() needs revision ).
