[jira] Commented: (CASSANDRA-6) HashingStrategy does not default to RANDOM if the conf file is missing this entry

["Jonathan Ellis (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12693581#action_12693581 ] 

Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-6:
----------------------------------------

Avinash applied Sandeep's patch for this specific issue but more generally we need to add some checks to startup for configuration sanity and abort if things are too badly broken.  (Missing hash fn would fall into that category.)

> When the conf file does not have a line for hashingstrategy, the value does not default to RANDOM, instead it goes to null because of:

> hashingStrategy_ = xmlUtils.getNodeValue("/Storage/HashingStrategy");
