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

             Summary: NPE from migration manager
                 Key: CASSANDRA-5815
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5815
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 1.1.12
            Reporter: Vishy Kasar
            Priority: Minor


In one of our production clusters we see this error often. Looking through the source, Gossiper.instance.getEndpointStateForEndpoint(endpoint) is returning null for some end point. De we need any config change on our end to resolve this? In any case, cassandra should be updated to protect against this NPE.

It turned out that the reason for NPE was we bootstrapped a node with the same token as another node. Cassandra should not throw an NPE here but log a meaningful error message.
