I am in process of setting 2 node cluster with C* version 2.0.4. When I started each node, it failed to communicate thus, each are running separate and not in same ring. So started looking at the log files are saw the message below:
WARN [main] 2014-01-28 06:02:17,861 CassandraDaemon.java (line 155) OpenJDK is not recommended. Please upgrade to the newest Oracle Java release Is this message informational only or can it be real issue? Is this why, two nodes are not in a ring? -- Kumar
