-------------------------------------------
Summary: User rpc_address for binary protocol and change default
port
Key: CASSANDRA-4751
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4751
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Sylvain Lebresne
Assignee: Sylvain Lebresne
Priority: Minor
The events mechanism of the binary protocol require that we know the address on
which other nodes can be joined (for the binary protocol). Hence
CASSANDRA-4501. However, in 1.2 we've already burned all the padding in 1.1
gossip, so we can't gossip a new info (the binary protocol address), so
CASSANDRA-4501 will have to move to 1.3.
But we do already gossip the rpc_address value, so an option is to make the
binary protocol bind on the rpc_address (but a specific port) rather than
having it's own setting. This ticket suggests to do that. Imo, there is little
downside to do it: the thrift and binary transport are not meant to be used
together except during the transition from one to the other, and even then
having to use the same network interface is hardly a limitation (in other
words, even for 1.3, we might want to hold on CASSANDRA-4501 until someone
comes with a compelling use case for it).
