Hi everybody, I've been trying run Cassandra as a managed service from another java process and stumbled across the use of System.exit() calls in some of the core services (i.e DatabaseDescriptor, StorageService, SSTableReader).
This makes the use as an embedded service very difficult and I can imagine that it easily creates other issues as well (i.e. freeing allocated resources). Can somebody explain the rational behind using System.exit() calls opposed to the use of regular exceptions and handling the process shutdown in a well defined place (i.e the CassandraDaemon) ? Regards, Heiko
