All, I am trying to use the new astyanax over java driver to connect to cassandra version 1.2.12,
Following settings are turned on in cassandra.yaml: start_rpc: true native_transport_port: 9042 start_native_transport: true *Code to connect:* final Supplier<List<Host>> hostSupplier = new Supplier<List<Host>>() { @Override public List<Host> get() { List<Host> hosts = new ArrayList<>(); for(String hostPort : StringUtil.getSetFromDelimitedString(seedHosts, ",")) { String[] pair = hostPort.split(":"); Host host = new Host(pair[0], Integer.valueOf(pair[1]).intValue()); host.setRack("rack1"); hosts.add(host); } return hosts; } }; // get keyspace AstyanaxContext<Keyspace> context = new AstyanaxContext.Builder() .forCluster(clusterName) .forKeyspace(keyspace) .withHostSupplier(hostSupplier) .withAstyanaxConfiguration( new AstyanaxConfigurationImpl() .setDiscoveryType(NodeDiscoveryType.DISCOVERY_SERVICE) .setDiscoveryDelayInSeconds(60000).setCqlVersion("3.0.0").setTargetCassandraVersion("1.2.12") ) .withConnectionPoolConfiguration( new *JavaDriverConfigBuilder*().withPort(9042) .build()) .buildKeyspace(CqlFamilyFactory.getInstance()); context.start(); *Exception in Cassandra Server logs:* WARN [New I/O server boss #1 ([id: 0x6815d6c5, /0.0.0.0:9042])] 2014-10-06 11:11:37,826 Slf4JLogger.java (line 82) Failed to accept a connection. java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.jboss.netty.handler.codec.frame.LengthFieldBasedFrameDecoder.<init>(IIIIIZ)V at org.apache.cassandra.transport.Frame$Decoder.<init>(Frame.java:147) at org.apache.cassandra.transport.Server$PipelineFactory.getPipeline(Server.java:232) at org.jboss.netty.channel.socket.nio.NioServerSocketPipelineSink$Boss.registerAcceptedChannel(NioServerSocketPipelineSink.java:276) at org.jboss.netty.channel.socket.nio.NioServerSocketPipelineSink$Boss.run(NioServerSocketPipelineSink.java:246) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:895) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:918) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662) I also tried using the Java Driver 2.1.1, but I see the NoHostAvailableException, and I feel the underlying reason is the same as during connecting with astyanax java driver.
