Sam Tunnicliffe commented on CASSANDRA-10209: --------------------------------------------- Committed with [~carlyeks]'s additions as {{0c0f1ff1b1051627f38a8bf6cb0776241586dfce}}. I notice that since the revert, {{UFTest.testTypesWithAndWithoutNulls}} has been failing with a timeout. This is doubly weird given it was just a revert, plus the same test is fine on 3.0 & trunk. I've also run being running {{UFTest}} in a loop locally and seen no errors in 65 runs. [~mshuler], any ideas about the above? Also, another oddity is that {{CQLSSTableWriterClientTest}} (where the offending test from 2.2 was moved to) never failed on 3.0 or trunk, even before the revert. I would have expected 3.0 to have hit the same NPE from [this build|http://cassci.datastax.com/view/cassandra-3.0/job/cassandra-3.0_testall/90/], and indeed running the test locally with that revision fails in exactly the unexpected way. > Missing role manager in cassandra.yaml causes unexpected behaviour > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-10209 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10209 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Sam Tunnicliffe > Assignee: Sam Tunnicliffe > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.2.x, 3.0.0 rc1 > > > On upgrading to 2.2+, if the new {{role_manager}} option is not added to > {{cassandra.yaml}}, an instance of the default {{CassandraRoleManager}} is > created during initialization of {{DatabaseDescriptor}}.
