Problem with upgrade to 2.1.3

2015-02-20 Thread Jan Kesten 

Hi all,

this is my first post on the development list of cassandra - but I think 
this belongs here.


I'm running cassandra for a while now, and on testing I ran in many of 
2.1.2s issues. So I upgraded my test cluster from 2.1.2 to 2.1.3. I 
updated with the debian packages, diffed my cassandra.yaml and applied 
our changes to the new cassandra.yaml. Those changes are:


- cluster_name
- seeds
- listen_interface instead of listen_address
- rpc_interface instead of rpc_address

Nothing really spectacular - interface is nice as all nodes have the 
same cassandra.yaml. But trying to start 2.1.3 gives me an NPE:


ERROR [main] 2015-02-20 07:50:09,661 DatabaseDescriptor.java:144 - Fatal 
error during configuration loading

java.lang.NullPointerException: null

at 
org.apache.cassandra.service.CassandraDaemon.main(CassandraDaemon.java:554) 
[apache-cassandra-2.1.3.jar:2.1.3]


I also tried the .tar.gz distribution with the same result. I looked at 
the code of DatabaseDescriptor, and if someone uses rpc_interface this 
piece of code is executed:


/* Local IP, hostname or interface to bind RPC server to */
if(conf.rpc_address !=null&& conf.rpc_interface !=null)
{
throw newConfigurationException("Set rpc_address OR rpc_interface, not 
both");
}
else if(conf.rpc_address !=null)
{
try
{
rpcAddress = InetAddress.getByName(conf.rpc_address);
}
catch(UnknownHostException e)
{
throw newConfigurationException("Unknown host in rpc_address "+ 
conf.rpc_address);
}
}
else if(conf.rpc_interface !=null)
{
listenAddress = 
getNetworkInterfaceAddress(conf.rpc_interface,"rpc_interface");
}
else
{
rpcAddress = FBUtilities.getLocalAddress();
}


I think that listenAddress in the second else block is an error. In my 
case rpc_interface is eth0, so listenAddress gets set, and rpcAddress 
remains unset. The result is NPE in line 411:


if(rpcAddress.isAnyLocalAddress())

After changing rpc_interface to rpc_address everything works as expected.

Best regards,
Jan

We encountered the same problem, I put in a comment on the JIRA that 
caused it:
