DseClusterBuilderAddContactPoint Method (String)

Adds a contact point. Contact points are addresses of Cassandra nodes that the driver uses to discover the cluster topology. Only one contact point is required (the driver will retrieve the address of the other nodes automatically), but it is usually a good idea to provide more than one contact point, as if that unique contact point is not available, the driver won't be able to initialize itself correctly.

Namespace:  Dse
Assembly:  Dse (in Dse.dll) Version: 2.6.0
Syntax
C#
Copy
public DseClusterBuilder AddContactPoint(
	string address
)

Parameters

address
Type: SystemString
the address of the node to connect to

Return Value

Type: DseClusterBuilder
this Builder
Remarks
However, this can be useful if the Cassandra nodes are behind a router and are not accessed directly. Note that if you are in this situation (Cassandra nodes are behind a router, not directly accessible), you almost surely want to provide a specific IAddressTranslator (through Builder.WithAddressTranslater) to translate actual Cassandra node addresses to the addresses the driver should use, otherwise the driver will not be able to auto-detect new nodes (and will generally not function optimally).
