com.datastax.driver.core.TransportException: [/xx.xxx.x.xxx:9042] Cannot connect - cassandra-2.0

Question

I have 2 node in Cassandra cluster with IP:Port aa.aaa.a.aaa:9043(node) and xx.xxx.x.xxx:9043. When i trying to connect using following config **PoolingOptions poolingOptions = new PoolingOptions();
poolingOptions.setCoreConnectionsPerHost(HostDistance.LOCAL, 2)
.setMaxConnectionsPerHost(HostDistance.LOCAL, 4)
.setCoreConnectionsPerHost(HostDistance.REMOTE, 2)
.setMaxConnectionsPerHost(HostDistance.REMOTE, 4)
.setMaxRequestsPerConnection(HostDistance.LOCAL, 200)
.setMaxRequestsPerConnection(HostDistance.REMOTE, 200);
cluster = Cluster.builder()
.addContactPointsWithPorts(socketAddressList)
.withPoolingOptions(poolingOptions)
.withRetryPolicy(DefaultRetryPolicy.INSTANCE)
.withLoadBalancingPolicy(new TokenAwarePolicy(new DCAwareRoundRobinPolicy())).build();
Session session = cluster.connect(cassandraDB);**
I am getting following exception 16/01/14 09:52:45 INFO core.NettyUtil: Did not find Netty's native epoll transport in the classpath, defaulting to NIO.

My Question are:
why it is trying to connect on port 9042, while no where i am using this port in code as well as in config file ?
cassandra version: Cassandra 2.2.1

Answer 1

why it is trying to connect on port 9042, while no where i am using this port in code as well as in config file ?
9042 is the default port for the CQL binary protocol.
Can you show us the content of the variable socketAddressList that you passed to the cluster builder ?
Is there any reason you're using port 9043 instead of the default 9042 port ?
