Hello, First of all I would like to say hello to cassandra user and developer community. :)
I write because we are using Cassandra in our unit tests and we have some troubles with network connectivity. We ca not run multiple cassandra instances during tests because we would need to randomize configuration of port and so on. For now if we try to fork our tests we get "address already in use" on one from two ports - native or thrift. In other apache projects we can "VM" connectors (ActiveMQ, Camel, Mina) based on in-memory queue. I took some time to see how CassandraDaemon starts servers and it's kinda of hardcoded. I thought about changing configuration to be more like: servers: - class org.apache.cassandra.thrift.ThriftServer - class org.apache.cassandra.transport.Server Then we will be able to disable these servers for unit tests: servers: - class org.apache.cassandra.vm.VmServer This requires some small changes in daemon code and client libraries. I'm not really deeply involved in cassandra stuff so I don't know the internal architecture and implications thus I look forward for you to discuss this topic.
