Hi, I'm using Cassandra 0.7.4 on a three node cluster. The cluster was setup yesterday as a fresh installation (no upgrade). The cluster is installed beside a hadoop cluster (I want to discover how cassandra works together with hadoop's map/reduce feature).
After loading some test data into the cassandra cluster (some text-files for a first wordcount m/r example ;-) I killed all nodes and restarted the cluster. Two nodes are starting fine but the third node doesn't start and throws a NullPointerException: INFO 12:44:42,557 Finished reading /home/.../cassandra/work/commitlog/CommitLog-1303828029742.log ERROR 12:44:42,558 Exception encountered during startup. java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.cassandra.db.Table.createReplicationStrategy(Table.java:275) at org.apache.cassandra.db.Table.<init>(Table.java:221) at org.apache.cassandra.db.Table.open(Table.java:110) at org.apache.cassandra.db.commitlog.CommitLog.recover(CommitLog.java:273) at org.apache.cassandra.db.commitlog.CommitLog.recover(CommitLog.java:156) at org.apache.cassandra.service.AbstractCassandraDaemon.setup(AbstractCassandraDaemon.java:173) at org.apache.cassandra.service.AbstractCassandraDaemon.activate(AbstractCassandraDaemon.java:314) at org.apache.cassandra.thrift.CassandraDaemon.main(CassandraDaemon.java:79) Exception encountered during startup. This looks pretty much the same as issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1889 which is in resolution "cannot reproduce". What can I do to make the node starting again? Thanks in advance and best regards Udo
