Auto scheduler encounters null pointer exception

[zorkian]

We're evaluating the Cassandra Reaper here and have run into an issue with the auto scheduler. We're using version 1.0.2, with Cassandra version 3.0.15.

This is the only output the Reaper prints, running in DEBUG mode:

This repeats every 10 minutes. Manually scheduled repair runs seem to work correctly, it's just the autoscheduler is failing.

Hi @zorkian ,

I've failed to reproduce the issue so far. Could you share your reaper yaml file here so that I can check your settings ?

Thanks

I am getting the same issue.

Here is my yaml file:

# Cassandra Reaper Configuration Example.
# See a bit more complete example in:

# datacenterAvailability has three possible values: ALL | LOCAL | EACH
# the correct value to use depends on whether jmx ports to C* nodes in remote datacenters are accessible
# If the reaper has access to all node jmx ports, across all datacenters, then configure to ALL.
# If jmx access is only available to nodes in the same datacenter as reaper in running in, then configure to LOCAL.
# If there's a reaper instance running in every datacenter, and it's important that nodes under duress are not involved in repairs,
#    then configure to EACH.
#
# The default is ALL
datacenterAvailability: ALL

@zorkian and @tfendt,   If you comment the line…

#  excludedKeyspaces:

does it fix the problem?
