[jira] [Comment Edited] (CASSANDRA-16718) Changing listen_address with prefer_local may lead to issues

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16718?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17409614#comment-17409614 ]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This issue boils down to CASSANDRA-10134 loading the ring state, which includes preferred_ip.  OTC then queries this directly if it exists and uses it before any changes can be learned.  Given this, I'm not sure it even makes sense to store the preferred_ip, since if we try to use it eagerly we'll never be able to learn of the change to it, as this issue exemplifies.  I think the best plan is just to remove this optimization and do the reconnection dance every time, which still shouldn't be super-often. WDYT, [~beobal]?

In the meantime, operators may add {{-Dcassandra.load_ring_state=false}} if that's an acceptable workaround.

> Many container based solution function by assigning new listen_addresses when nodes are stopped. Changing the listen_address is usually as simple as turning off the node and changing the yaml file. 
> However, if prefer_local is enabled, I observed that nodes were unable to join the cluster and fail with 'Unable to gossip with any seeds'. 
> Trace shows that the changing node will try to communicate with the existing node but the response is never received. I assume it is because the existing node attempts to communicate with the local address during the shadow round.
