Hello, I am trying to spin up a new node using cassandra 2.0.7. Both nodes are at Digital Ocean. The seed node is up and running and I can telnet to port 7000 on that host from the node I'm trying to start.
[root@cassandra02 apache-cassandra-2.0.7]# telnet 10.10.1.94 7000 Trying 10.10.1.94... Connected to 10.10.1.94. Escape character is '^]'. But when I start cassandra on the new node I see the following exception: INFO 00:01:34,744 Handshaking version with /10.10.1.94 ERROR 00:02:05,733 Exception encountered during startup java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to gossip with any seeds at org.apache.cassandra.gms.Gossiper.doShadowRound(Gossiper.java:1193) at org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageService.checkForEndpointCollision(StorageService.java:447) at org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageService.prepareToJoin(StorageService.java:656) at org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageService.initServer(StorageService.java:612) at org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageService.initServer(StorageService.java:505) at org.apache.cassandra.service.CassandraDaemon.setup(CassandraDaemon.java:362) at org.apache.cassandra.service.CassandraDaemon.activate(CassandraDaemon.java:480) at org.apache.cassandra.service.CassandraDaemon.main(CassandraDaemon.java:569) java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to gossip with any seeds at org.apache.cassandra.gms.Gossiper.doShadowRound(Gossiper.java:1193) at org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageService.checkForEndpointCollision(StorageService.java:447) at org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageService.prepareToJoin(StorageService.java:656) at org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageService.initServer(StorageService.java:612) at org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageService.initServer(StorageService.java:505) at org.apache.cassandra.service.CassandraDaemon.setup(CassandraDaemon.java:362) at org.apache.cassandra.service.CassandraDaemon.activate(CassandraDaemon.java:480) at org.apache.cassandra.service.CassandraDaemon.main(CassandraDaemon.java:569) Exception encountered during startup: Unable to gossip with any seeds ERROR 00:02:05,742 Exception in thread Thread[StorageServiceShutdownHook,5,main] java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.cassandra.gms.Gossiper.stop(Gossiper.java:1270) at org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageService$1.runMayThrow(StorageService.java:573) at org.apache.cassandra.utils.WrappedRunnable.run(WrappedRunnable.java:28) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) I'm using the murmur3 partition on both nodes and I have the seed node's IP listed in the cassandra.yaml of the new node. I'm just wondering what the issue might be and how I can get around it. Thanks Tim -- GPG me!! gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys F186197B
