Problem

Topology refresh no longer populated Host.listen_address from system.local. When token metadata was disabled, the local query also omitted listen and broadcast addresses. This could make consumers fall back to the RPC endpoint and contact the wrong REST address after an RPC address change.

Fix

Query local listen and broadcast addresses regardless of whether token metadata is enabled, and populate the local host's listen_address during topology refresh. Update the Host attribute documentation to match.

Fixes #1008

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The control connection now shares one local-column definition across local-node queries. The no-token query now returns listen_address, broadcast_address, and schema_version. Topology refresh assigns the local host’s listen_address. Tests cover RPC address changes, token-disabled refreshes, and metadata address discovery.

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f8f1d

Connections with token metadata disabled can fail against older Cassandra installations because the expanded local metadata query requests unsupported columns. Resolve the compatibility path before merging.

1. Disabling tokens erases listen metadata ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
Description
_refresh_node_list_and_token_map unconditionally assigns row.get("listen_address"), although
_SELECT_LOCAL_NO_TOKENS does not select that column. If an application disables token metadata
after an earlier enabled refresh and refreshes nodes, the existing host's known listen address is
replaced with None.
Code

cassandra/cluster.py[4220]

Relevance

●●● Strong

Direct correctness bug: omitted listen_address overwrites known metadata when token queries are
disabled.

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The token-enabled query selects listen_address, but the token-disabled query omits it, and refresh
chooses between them using the mutable token-metadata flag. Because the public setter can change
that flag after connection and the Host documentation confirms the field is not queried while
disabled, the new unconditional assignment converts an omitted column into None and overwrites an
already known value.

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The local-host refresh clears a previously populated listen address whenever the local query omits that column, including after token metadata is disabled at runtime.

## Fix Focus Areas
- cassandra/cluster.py[4219-4221]
- tests/unit/test_control_connection.py[357-366]

## Recommended Fix
Assign `host.listen_address` only when `listen_address` is present in the local row. Add coverage that first populates the address, then refreshes with a token-disabled local result lacking the column and verifies the known value remains intact.

Fix is right for the exact scenario in #1008, and test_refresh_sets_local_listen_address_when_rpc_address_changes genuinely fails without it. One gap worth addressing before merge — see the inline note on _SELECT_LOCAL_NO_TOKENS.

[Minor] 🟡 tests/integration/standard/test_metadata.py:79 still skips the listen_address assertion for Scylla behind # Note: Scylla does not populate listen_address in system.local. That's the reason a0cde2e shipped unnoticed, and #1008 disproves the premise. Re-enabling it would give this regression real CI coverage instead of unit-only.

Out of scope here, but a0cde2e left more behind in the same function — happy to file an issue: the local row now goes through _is_valid_peer with no local-specific fallback (a 0.0.0.0/NULL local rpc_address drops the local Host entirely, taking listen_address with it, since get_broadcast_rpc_address falls back to row["peer"] and system.local has no such column); _SELECT_LOCAL_NO_TOKENS_RPC_ADDRESS (L3773) is now unreferenced; tokens at L4142 is a dead store shadowed at L4224; and pool.py:106-110 documents Host.listen_port as coming from system.local.listen_port, which no query selects.

@nikagra Fixed the integration gap: removed the Scylla-specific conditional, so the existing listen_address assertion now runs for Scylla too. The other items identified as out of scope remain separate follow-ups; please file an issue so they can be tracked independently.

Assert the local Host.listen_address, not the RPC endpoint.

con.host is the control connection RPC address. It can differ from Host.listen_address. This assertion fails for the relocated-RPC configuration that this patch supports. Resolve the control Host and assert that its listen_address is populated.

@coderabbitai Fixed. The integration test now resolves the control Host and asserts local_host.listen_address directly.

commit message and PR description should be updated, "preserve listen metadata when local RPC endpoint changes" describes logic that no longer exists in the diff, and "No new public API or docstrings" is false against two edited pool.py docstrings.
