Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-3114: --------------------------------------------- I'm not sure there's a good solution here. We could make PFEPS inject the local nodes dc/rack info into gossip similar to what I suggested in CASSANDRA-1974, but you'd still have to name things with the ec2snitch conventions for things to not break, and it would be very PFEPS-specific; other snitches are out of the question. Ultimately I'm inclined to say you need to choose your snitch like you choose your partitioner: very carefully. > After Choosing EC2Snitch you can't migrate off w/o a full cluster restart > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-3114 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3114 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.7.8, 0.8.4 > Reporter: Benjamin Coverston > > Once you choose the Ec2Snitch the gossip messages will trigger this exception > if you try to move (for example) to the property file snitch: > ERROR [pool-2-thread-11] 2011-08-30 16:38:06,935 Cassandra.java (line 3041) > Internal error processing get_slice > java.lang.NullPointerException > at org.apache.cassandra.locator.Ec2Snitch.getDatacenter(Ec2Snitch.java:84) > at > org.apache.cassandra.locator.DynamicEndpointSnitch.getDatacenter(DynamicEndpointSnitch.java:122) > > at > org.apache.cassandra.service.DatacenterReadCallback.assureSufficientLiveNodes(DatacenterReadCallback.java:77) > > at org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageProxy.fetchRows(StorageProxy.java:516) > at org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageProxy.read(StorageProxy.java:480) > at > org.apache.cassandra.thrift.CassandraServer.readColumnFamily(CassandraServer.java:109) > > at > org.apache.cassandra.thrift.CassandraServer.getSlice(CassandraServer.java:263) > > at > org.apache.cassandra.thrift.CassandraServer.multigetSliceInternal(CassandraServer.java:345) > > at > org.apache.cassandra.thrift.CassandraServer.get_slice(CassandraServer.java:306) > > at > org.apache.cassandra.thrift.Cassandra$Processor$get_slice.process(Cassandra.java:3033) > > at > org.apache.cassandra.thrift.Cassandra$Processor.process(Cassandra.java:2889) > at > org.apache.cassandra.thrift.CustomTThreadPoolServer$WorkerProcess.run(CustomTThreadPoolServer.java:187) > > at > java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:886) > > at > java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:908) > > at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
