do not bind to a specific address for listening -----------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-3352 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3352 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Yang Yang Priority: Minor now the thrift api binds to a specific address when it opens up the tcp socket. this creates a little inconvenience when you access the box in cassandra-cli: you have to find the exact host name. but if you are using cassandra-cli on localhost, you would normally like to just use "localhost"; similarly there is a problem if you use EC2, you have to find the external address, instead of using the local ip, which is available to you. I understand that the bind address would be useful in cases of testing (you can create multiple clusters on the same box), but probably we could preserve that behavior through a config var for testing mode only -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
