Description

Whilst comparing dtests for CASSANDRA-9970 I found this failing dtest in 2.2:

Unexpected error in node1 node log: ['ERROR [GossipStage:1] 2015-08-14 15:39:57,873 CassandraDaemon.java:183 - Exception in thread Thread[GossipStage:1,5,main] java.lang.NullPointerException: null \tat org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageService.getApplicationStateValue(StorageService.java:1731) ~[main/:na] \tat org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageService.getTokensFor(StorageService.java:1804) ~[main/:na] \tat org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageService.handleStateNormal(StorageService.java:1857) ~[main/:na] \tat org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageService.onChange(StorageService.java:1629) ~[main/:na] \tat org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageService.onJoin(StorageService.java:2312) ~[main/:na] \tat org.apache.cassandra.gms.Gossiper.handleMajorStateChange(Gossiper.java:1025) ~[main/:na] \tat org.apache.cassandra.gms.Gossiper.applyStateLocally(Gossiper.java:1106) ~[main/:na] \tat org.apache.cassandra.gms.GossipDigestAck2VerbHandler.doVerb(GossipDigestAck2VerbHandler.java:49) ~[main/:na] \tat org.apache.cassandra.net.MessageDeliveryTask.run(MessageDeliveryTask.java:66) ~[main/:na] \tat java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1145) ~[na:1.7.0_80] \tat java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:615) ~[na:1.7.0_80] \tat java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) ~[na:1.7.0_80]']

I wasn't able to find it on unpatched branches but it is clearly not related to CASSANDRA-9970, if anything it could have been a side effect of CASSANDRA-9871.
