IAddressTranslator Interface

public interface IAddressTranslator

The driver auto-detect new Cassandra nodes added to the cluster through server side pushed notifications and through checking the system tables. For each node, the address the driver will receive will correspond to the address set as rpc_address in the node yaml file. In most case, this is the correct address to use by the driver and that is what is used by default. However, sometimes the addresses received through this mechanism will either not be reachable directly by the driver or should not be the preferred address to use to reach the node (for instance, the rpc_address set on Cassandra nodes might be a private IP, but some clients may have to use a public IP, or pass by a router to reach that node). This interface allows to deal with such cases, by allowing to translate an address as sent by a Cassandra node to another address to be used by the driver for connection. Please note that the contact points addresses provided while creating the Cluster instance are not "translated", only IP address retrieve from or sent by Cassandra nodes to the driver are.
