J.B. Langston created CASSANDRA-9325:
----------------------------------------
Summary: cassandra-stress requires keystore but provides no way to
configure it
Key: CASSANDRA-9325
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9325
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: J.B. Langston
Even though it shouldn't be required unless client certificate authentication
is enabled, the stress tool is looking for a keystore in the default location
of conf/.keystore with the default password of cassandra. There is no command
line option to override these defaults so you have to provide a keystore that
satisfies the default. It looks for conf/.keystore in the working directory, so
you need to create this in the directory you are running cassandra-stress
from.It doesn't really matter what's in the keystore; it just needs to exist in
the expected location and have a password of cassandra.
Since the keystore might be required if client certificate authentication is
enabled, we need to add -transport parameters for keystore and
keystore-password. These should be optional unless client certificate
authentication is enabled on the server.
In case it wasn't apparent, this is for Cassandra 2.1 and later's stress tool.
I actually had even more problems getting Cassandra 2.0's stress tool working
with SSL and gave up on it. We probably don't need to fix 2.0; we can just
document that it doesn't support SSL and recommend using 2.1 instead.
