Eric Falcao commented on CASSANDRA-3023:
----------------------------------------
I think my clients may have rapidly been calling
describe_ring.........hrm......which should have stopped NPE'ing after the full
(but rolling) upgrade.
> NPE in describe_ring

> Not sure how much of the following is relevant besides the stack trace, but
> here I go:
> I have a 2 DC, 2 node per DC cluster. DC1 had it's seed replaced but I hadn't
> restarted. I upgraded to 0.8.4 in the following fashion:
> -edited seeds
> -stopped both DC1 nodes
> -upgraded jars
> -started both nodes at the same time
> The non-seed node came up first and showed the following error. Then when the
> seed node came up, the error went away on the non-seed node but started
> occurring on the seed node:
> ERROR [pool-2-thread-15] 2011-08-12 22:32:27,438 Cassandra.java (line 3668)
