Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-3191: --------------------------------------------- I could be wrong, but I think that was is happening here is that leaving it blank will resolve to the machine address (i.e, not the loopback ip), and thus the node doesn't recognize itself as a seed. In a way, it's a configuration error, listen_address should be 127.0.0.1. Not sure we can really improve that error message, but maybe we can improve the comments in the yaml. > unable to start single node cluster when listen_address is not localhost > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-3191 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3191 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: T Jake Luciani > Fix For: 1.0.0 > > > Due to bootstrap default == true > {code} > INFO 20:07:51,839 Joining: waiting for ring and schema information > INFO 20:08:21,839 Joining: getting bootstrap token > ERROR 20:08:21,843 Exception encountered during startup. > java.lang.RuntimeException: No other nodes seen!
