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

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
