Hello, I'm having problems getting cassandra to start with the configuration listed above.
Yum wants to install 3.2.4-2.el6 of the JNA along with several other packages including java-1.7.0-openjdk The documentation states that a JNA version earlier that 3.2.7 should not be used, so the jar file should be downloaded and installed directly into C*'s lib directory per http://www.datastax.com/documentation/cassandra/2.0/cassandra/install/installJnaTar.html >From /var/log/cassandra/system.log all I see is INFO [main] 2015-02-25 20:06:10,202 CassandraDaemon.java (line 191) Classpath: /etc/cassandra/conf:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/antlr-3.2.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/apache-cassandra-2.0.12.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/apache-cassandra-clientutil-2.0.12.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/apache-cassandra-thrift-2.0.12.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/commons-cli-1.1.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/commons-codec-1.2.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/commons-lang3-3.1.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/compress-lzf-0.8.4.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/concurrentlinkedhashmap-lru-1.3.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/disruptor-3.0.1.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/guava-15.0.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/high-scale-lib-1.1.2.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/jackson-core-asl-1.9.2.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/jackson-mapper-asl-1.9.2.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/jamm-0.2.5.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/jbcrypt-0.3m.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/jline-1.0.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/jna.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/json-simple-1.1.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/libthrift-0.9.1.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/log4j-1.2.16.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/lz4-1.2.0.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/metrics-core-2.2.0.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/netty-3.6.6.Final.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/reporter-config-2.1.0.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/servlet-api-2.5-20081211.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/slf4j-api-1.7.2.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/slf4j-log4j12-1.7.2.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/snakeyaml-1.11.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/snappy-java-1.0.5.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/snaptree-0.1.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/stress.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/super-csv-2.1.0.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/thrift-server-0.3.7.jar:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/jamm-0.2.5.jar and it never actually starts Note that JNA is in the classpath above and is when I remove it, cassandra starts successfully. I tried installing the DSE package and it looks like it wants to install the older 3.2.4 JNA as a dependency so there seems to be a discrepancy in documentation Per http://www.datastax.com/documentation/datastax_enterprise/4.6/datastax_enterprise/install/installRHELdse.html Note: JNA (Java Native Access) is automatically installed. thanks for any help, Garret
