listen and broadcast address are set to null

[aryanet]

From tomcat.log I have observed Priam detecting the correct cluster name and setting security group ACL and detecting other nodes in ASG, however what I don't understand is that why it has set the listen and broadcast addresses to null. I traced this down to the following line of code:

File:
src/main/java/com/netflix/priam/utils/TuneCassandra.java: TuneCassandra.updateYaml(config, config.getCassHome() + "/conf/cassandra.yaml", null, config.getSeedProviderName());

This doesn't seam right to me as it is explicitly setting hostname parameter for that method to null and inside the method there is no reference reading the hostname or public ip from IConfiguration.

I might be missing something in understanding how Priam supposed to work, and your advice is greatly appreciated.

The hostname is set to null to let Cassandra autodetect the correct address to bind to. This forces you to make Cassandra find the ip you intend to bind on as the localhost. See this FAQ for more info: http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/FAQ#cant_listen_on_ip_any

I did this by simply changing /etc/hosts to let localhost resolve to the private ip address of the host.

OK, I get it. So am going to close this, but I have one last problem and I am going to discuss it in another thread.
