Hey guys, I'm running into what seems like a very basic problem. I have a one node cassandra instance. Version 0.7.5. Freshly installed. Contains no data. The cassandra.yaml is the same as the default one that is supplied, except for data/commitlog/saved_caches directories. I also changed the addresses to point to a externally visible ip address. The cassandra comes up nicely and is ready to accept thrift connections. I do a nodetool and this is what I get.
10.242.217.124 Up Normal 6.54 KB 100.00% 110022862993086789903543147927259579701 Which seems right to me. Now I start another node. Almost identical configuration to the first one. Except the bootstrap is turned true and seeds appropriately set. When I start the second, I notice that the second one contacts the first node to get the new token. I see the following lines in the first machine(the seed machine). INFO [GossipStage:1] 2011-05-05 07:00:20,427 Gossiper.java (line 628) Node / 10.83.111.80 has restarted, now UP again INFO [HintedHandoff:1] 2011-05-05 07:00:55,162 HintedHandOffManager.java (line 304) Started hinted handoff for endpoint /10.83.111.80 INFO [HintedHandoff:1] 2011-05-05 07:00:55,164 HintedHandOffManager.java (line 360) Finished hinted hand off of 0 rows to endpoint /10.83.111.80 However when i do a node ring, I still get 10.242.217.124 Up Normal 6.54 KB 100.00% 110022862993086789903543147927259579701 Even though the second node has come up.

Am I missing anything? Thanks!
