Description

When an instance is newly added to the cluster and it's still streaming stuff, trying to call nodetool info on it throws NPE. Stack trace below.

To replicate: add a new node to the cluster, run nodetool info before bootstrap is complete.

Expected behaviour: is nice and just says RPC server is not running.
