Peter Schuller commented on CASSANDRA-3797: ------------------------------------------- Really? That's strange. I just re-tried again to double-check (ant clean and everything) and the patch seems to make a difference here. In the case of Class.forName() I cannot believe that is not supposed to be guaranteed. Are you *sure* it's not working? I would have to assume static initialization must by definition happen for Class.forName() to fullfil its contract (even if I could possibly buy slightly more easily that the staticallyInitialize() NOOP didn't, but even that seems like a stretch). I am just building and {{./bin/cassandra -f}} and immediately attaching with visualvm. > StorageProxy static initialization not triggered until thrift requests come in > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-3797 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3797 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Peter Schuller > Assignee: Peter Schuller > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.1 > > Attachments: 3797-forname.txt, CASSANDRA-3797-trunk-v1.txt > > > While plugging in the metrics library for CASSANDRA-3671 I realized (because > the metrics library was trying to add a shutdown hook on metric creation) > that starting cassandra and simply shutting it down, causes StorageProxy to > not be initialized until the drain shutdown hook. > Effects: > * StorageProxy mbean missing in visualvm/jconsole after initial startup > (seriously, I thought I was going nuts ;)) > * And in general anything that makes assumptions about running early, or at > least not during JVM shutdown, such as the metrics library, will be > problematic -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
