Thanks everyone for the suggestions!
I have used the following code to create my cluster from my dev environment
and it seems to be working perfectly:
cluster = Cluster.*builder*
().addContactPoints(nodes).withAddressTranslater(*new* AddressTranslater() {
*public* InetSocketAddress translate(InetSocketAddress
address) {
String newAddress = *null*;
*if*(address != *null* && address.getAddress() !=
*null*) {
*if*(address.getHostName().equals(
"172.x.x.237")) newAddress = "54.x.x.157";
*if*(address.getHostName().equals(
"172.x.x.170")) newAddress = "54.x.x.208";
*if*(address.getHostName().equals(
"172.x.x.150")) newAddress = "54.x.x.142";
}
*return* *new* InetSocketAddress(newAddress,
address.getPort());
}
}).build();
Cheers,
Matt

I would like to note that this will require all clients connect over the
external IP address. If you have clients within Amazon that need to connect
over the private IP address, this would not be possible. If you have a mix
of clients that need to connect over private IP address and public, then
one of the solutions outlined in
https://datastax-oss.atlassian.net/browse/JAVA-145 may be more appropriate.

You'll have to configure your nodes to:
1. use AWS internal IPs for inter-node connection (check listen_address)
and
2. use the AWS public IP for client-to-node connections (check rpc_address)
Depending on the setup, there might be other interesting conf options in
cassandra.yaml (broadcast_address, listen_interface, rpc_interface).

Ideally you'll be on the same network, but if you can't be, you'll need to
use the public ip in listen_address.

Hi all,
I have set up a Cassandra cluster with 2.1.4 on some existing AWS boxes,
just as a POC. Cassandra servers connect to each other over their internal
AWS IP addresses (172.x.x.x) aliased in /etc/hosts as sales1, sales2 and
sales3.
I connect to it from my local dev environment using the seed’s external NAT
address (54.x.x.x) aliases in my Windows hosts file as sales3 (my seed).
When I try to connect, it connects fine, and can retrieve some data (I have
very limited amounts of data in there, but it seems to retrieve ok), but I
also get lots of stacktraces in my log where my dev environment is trying
to connect to Cassandra on the internal IP (presumably the Cassandra seed
node tells my dev env where to look):

Does anyone have any experience with connecting to AWS clusters from dev
machines? How have you set up your aliases to get around this issue?
Current setup in sales3 (seed node) cassandra.yaml:
*- seeds: "sales3"*
*listen_address: sales3*
*rpc_address: sales3*
Current setup in other nodes (eg sales2) cassandra.yaml:
*- seeds: "sales3"*
*listen_address: sales2*
*rpc_address: sales2*
Thanks!
Matt
