I have had the same issue. Not an expert on this… but I think it is more a consequence of the CentOS repo than cassandra rpm. The Oracle JVM packages are not available and it appears you need to download (after accepting license) the rpm and use the rpm command to install the package. Wget is also problematic as the url appears to be littered with other html in the response… I had to download and scp to the box and then install Java BEFORE installing Casandra to avoid the dependency triggering an auto install of the openjdk.
Any repo experts please jump in… Thanks, [Cory M Cox Signature small] Cory Cox Senior Database Administrator [http://sharepoint.agoda.local/PR/Communications/Agoda%20logo%20with%20slogan.png] a Priceline ® company From: Wim Deblauwe [mailto:wim.debla...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, July 07, 2014 13:50 To: user@cassandra.apache.org Subject: Re: Why is yum pulling in open JDK ? Hi, I am very aware that Cassandra needs Java. I was just wondering why 'openjdk' is the dependency while it is advised to use the Oracle Java. regards, Wim 2014-07-06 21:54 GMT+02:00 Patricia Gorla <patri...@thelastpickle.com<mailto:patri...@thelastpickle.com>>: Wim, > openjdk Java is a dependency of Cassandra, so if you do not have Java already installed on your computer, yum will automatically do so. The Oracle Java JVM must be installed separately. > dsc20, cassandra20 The first installation target is for Datastax Community version 2.0, while the latter installs Apache Cassandra 2.0 Cheers, -- Patricia Gorla @patriciagorla Consultant Apache Cassandra Consulting http://www.thelastpickle.com<http://thelastpickle.com> ________________________________ This message is confidential and is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
