Philip Thompson updated CASSANDRA-7439:
---------------------------------------
    Issue Type: Task  (was: Bug)

Changing to task based on Benedict's assertion is probably isn't a problem, but Mike's desire for someone to verify it is checked everywhere necessary.

> In most places the getEndpointStateForEndpoint method is null checked but in a number of places it isn't.
> Without testing each individual call point it is difficult to tell from the context whether the state will be null or not.
> In this case wouldn't it make sense to null every call to this method to avoid race conditions and NPEs
