Well Romain, I had tried restarting the VM as well but problem still remained.
What I noticed is after sometime irrespective I run cassandra from other user or using the normal cassandra the problem still remains. As soon as it starts, the JVM is get killed because of memory issue. Is there some other settings other then limits.conf file I need to configure. Also to note that I dont have a /etc/limits.d/cassandra.conf file. I just configured them in limits.conf. Even though I made same the group ID of both the users(cassanda, X) but no use. Is there anything like cassandra has to be started under cassandra user only? What are the special configurations required if we try to run cassandra under a different user?
