Using gem on a client with non-localhost IP fails

[timhaines]

In moving from gem 0.6 to 0.7.2 my clients were no longer talking to the correct server ip.

It's possible that my problem is that I should have added something to the config files during the upgrade that I missed. I did a diff on them between versions and didn't see anything different though.

I tracked the problem to this method in cassandra.rb:

def all_nodes
   ips = ::JSON.parse(@client.get_string_property('token map')).values
   port = @servers.first.split(':').last
   ips.map{|ip| "#{ip}:#{port}" }
end

As far as I know I don't have a token map defined, nor do I know how to define it. The client! method uses this all_nodes and overwrites the server attribute with the result of it.

Token map is internal to cassandra and was only added in 0.5.

This version of cassandra is only designed to work with 0.5.

[timhaines]

I thought the gem installed version 0.5 when I ran cassandra_helper. Will check.

[timhaines]

I can't figure out how to ask the cassandra binary for a version, but changes.txt and news.txt indicate I at least have version 0.5.0 RC1 installed.

Tim did you ever get this working? It looks a lot like my issue 20 problem (http://github.com/fauna/cassandra/issues/#issue/20)
