Hi
I've been trying to use the sstableloader in the latest version of DataStax (cassandra 1.2.6.5), with no success.
I have two virtual machines with DataStax installed on them - these are both instances with Linux Mint 13 on them.
I'm using one of those machines to run sstableloader from, whilst using the other as the cassandra server.
When I attempt to use sstableloader I get an error after a few seconds of inactivity:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mjafri2-VirtualBox dse # sstableloader --debug -d 192.168.56.102 -p 9160 jafri
null
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.apache.cassandra.io.sstable.SSTableLoader.<init>(SSTableLoader.java:58)
at org.apache.cassandra.tools.BulkLoader.main(BulkLoader.java:64)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When this happens, I see no log of interest on either the server or client folders under /var/log/cassandra.
If I attempt to connect using the cassandra-cli between the same two machines, this works! Presumably, this means we can rule out any network connectivity isssues.

Welcome to Cassandra CLI version 1.2.6.5

Any ideas on where this NullPointerException comes from and/or how to get rid of it?
Thanks
