Cannot start Cassandra?

[kokilasoral]

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?
