I have Ubuntu 12.04 with cassandra 1.1.3 (tarball installation), When I try to start cassandra, I get the following:
user@ubuntu:~/apache-cassandra-1.1.3/bin$ sudo ./cassandra -f
xss = -ea -javaagent:./../lib/jamm-0.2.5.jar -XX:+UseThreadPriorities -XX:ThreadPriorityPolicy=42 -Xms4G -Xmx4G -Xmn800M -XX: +HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Xss128k
user@ubuntu:~/apache-cassandra-1.1.3/bin$
According to cassandra documentation, the output does not look as expected:
The service should start in the foreground and log gratuitously to
standard-out. Assuming you don't see messages with scary words like
"error", or "fatal", or anything that looks like a Java stack trace,
then chances are you've succeeded.
So, what is the problem?
