Carl Yeksigian created CASSANDRA-5400: -----------------------------------------
Summary: Allow multiple ports to gossip from a single IP address Key: CASSANDRA-5400 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5400 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: New Feature Affects Versions: 2.0 Reporter: Carl Yeksigian Assignee: Carl Yeksigian Fix For: 2.0 If a fat client is running on the same machine as a Cassandra node, the fat client must be allocated a new IP address. However, since the node is now a part of the gossip, the other nodes in the ring must be able to talk to it. This means that a local only address (127.0.0.n) won't actually work for the rest of the ring. This also would allow for multiple Cassandra service instances to run on a single machine, or from a group of machines behind a NAT. The change is simple in concept: instead of using an InetAddress, use a different class. Instead of using an InetSocketAddress, which would still tie us to using InetAddress, I've added a new class, "CassandraInstanceEndpoint". The serializer allows for reading a serialized Inet4Address or Inet6Address; also, the message service can still communicate with non-CassandraInstanceEndpoint aware code. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
