Erik Onnen commented on CASSANDRA-1756: --------------------------------------- I forgot to add the stack trace resulting in the NPE in the original bug, sorry about that. Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError at org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageService.<clinit>(StorageService.java:199) at io.eao.cassandra.http.Main.main(Main.java:24) Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.cassandra.config.DatabaseDescriptor.<clinit>(DatabaseDescriptor.java:396) ... 2 more Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.cassandra.locator.DynamicEndpointSnitch.<init>(DynamicEndpointSnitch.java:74) at org.apache.cassandra.config.DatabaseDescriptor.createEndpointSnitch(DatabaseDescriptor.java:403) at org.apache.cassandra.config.DatabaseDescriptor.<clinit>(DatabaseDescriptor.java:275) > DatabaseDescriptor static initialization circular reference when initialized > through call to StorageService.instance.initClient > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-1756 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1756 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core > Affects Versions: 0.7.0 > Reporter: Erik Onnen > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.7.0 > > Attachments: CS-1756 > > > In trunk, attempting to invoke StorageService.instance.initClient results in > an NPE due to static definition field ordering in StorageService and a > circular reference from DatabaseDescriptor back into an uninitialized field > (scheduledTasks). Changing the ordering of the static fields such that > scheduledTasks is defined before the static partitioner fixes the issue. > I've also marked the scheduledTasks executor as final as it doesn't seem to > make sense changing it. > All tests pass with this change locally. > I suspect this hasn't surfaced in tests as calling initServer first in the > same JVM will allow later calls to initClient to see the correctly defined > scheduledTasks fields. > I'm following the recommended way to do this from ClientOnlyExample, if this > isn't the right way to initialize things let me know. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
