Gerben Kegel created CASSANDRA-4359:
---------------------------------------
Summary: Using IPv6 under Windows 7 says: "Address family not
supported by protocol family"
Key: CASSANDRA-4359
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4359
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 1.1.1
Environment: Windows 7
Reporter: Gerben Kegel
Priority: Minor
You can not use IPv6 under Windows 7 because nio is not supported. You receive
an error: "Address family not supported by protocol family".
Yuu can reproduce it by changing the rpc_address to "[::1]" and start Cassandra
under Windows 7
A workaround is to disable nio while using IPv6 under Windows 7. (Other windows
versions might also be affected.) Example:
{code:title=MessagingService.java}
ServerSocket socket;
if (nioSupported(localEp)) {
serverChannel = ServerSocketChannel.open();
socket = serverChannel.socket();
} else {
socket = new ServerSocket();
}
private boolean nioSupported(InetAddress localEp) {
String os = System.getProperty("os.name");
return !(localEp instanceof Inet6Address && os.equals("Windows 7"));
}
{code}
