Yang Yang commented on CASSANDRA-3352:
--------------------------------------
thanks
but could you please explain why this line is in the cassandra.yaml comment?
# Setting this to 0.0.0.0 is always wrong.
> do not bind to a specific address for listening

> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Yang Yang
> Priority: Minor
>
> now the thrift api binds to a specific address when it opens up the tcp
> socket.
> this creates a little inconvenience when you access the box in cassandra-cli:
> you have to find the exact host name. but if you are using cassandra-cli on
> localhost,
> you would normally like to just use "localhost"; similarly there is a
> problem if
> you use EC2, you have to find the external address, instead of using the
> local ip, which is available to you.
> I understand that the bind address would be useful in cases of testing (you
> can create multiple
> clusters on the same box), but probably we could preserve that behavior
> through
> a config var for testing mode only
