Hello,

I am trying to spin up a new node using cassandra 2.0.7. Both nodes are at
Digital Ocean. The seed node is up and running and I can telnet to port
7000 on that host from the node I'm trying to start.

[***@cassandra02 apache-cassandra-2.0.7]# telnet 10.10.1.94 7000

Trying 10.10.1.94...

Connected to 10.10.1.94.

Escape character is '^]'.

But when I start cassandra on the new node I see the following exception:

INFO 00:01:34,744 Handshaking version with /10.10.1.94

ERROR 00:02:05,733 Exception encountered during startup

I'm using the murmur3 partition on both nodes and I have the seed node's IP
listed in the cassandra.yaml of the new node. I'm just wondering what the
issue might be and how I can get around it.

Thanks

Tim
