[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-7439) There are a number of places where Gossiper.instance.getEndpointStateForEndpoint is not checked for null

Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-7439:
---------------------------------------------

Though true, I think a lot of these instances are where it's impossible for it to return null, e.g. we were responding to a notification of a join, so the state has to be there.

> 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
