JDK7 u40 stack size fixes I use Archlinux, and the latest OpenJDK, and run my cassandra via @pcmanus's ccm. When I tried the cassandra-2.0.0 branch via: $ ccm create -v git:cassandra-2.0.0 Then when I say: $ ccm populate -n3 $ ccm node1 start -v I get the following error: xss = -ea -javaagent:/home/blah/.ccm/repository/1.2.2/lib/jamm-0.2.5.jar -XX:+UseThreadPriorities -XX:ThreadPriorityPolicy=42 -Xms1985M -Xmx1985M -Xmn496M -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Xss180k The stack size specified is too small, Specify at least 228k Error starting node node1 Standard error output is: Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit. I tracked it down to conf/cassandra-env.sh, and changed the -Xss180k => -Xss228k and the node started.
