We are using Cassandra 1.2.13 in a multi-datacenter setup. We are using Astyanax as the client, and we’d like to enable its token aware connection pool type and ring describe node discovery type. Unfortunately, I’ve found that both thrift’s describe_ring and `nodetool ring` only report the public IPs of the cassandra nodes. This means that Astyanax tries to reconnect to the public IPs of each node, which doesn’t work and just results in no hosts being available for queries according to Astyanax.
I know from `nodetool gossipinfo` (and the fact that the clusters work) that it's sharing the LOCAL_IP via gossip, but have no idea how or if it’s possible to get describe_ring to return local IPs, or if there is some alternative. Thanks, -Ted
