"no snappyjava in java.library.path" (JDK 1.7 issue?)

[Stephen McKamey <st...@mckamey.com>]

I'm getting a org.xerial.snappy.SnappyError when creating my first column
family after blowing away my Cassandra installation and trying to run the
latest release. I'm undoubtably making some silly mistake but cannot seem
to find it. I even commented out my "sstable_compression=SnappyCompressor"
settings.

InvalidRequestException(why:SnappyCompressor.create() threw an error:
org.xerial.snappy.SnappyError [FAILED_TO_LOAD_NATIVE_LIBRARY] null)

Worth noting is I'm on Mac OS X 10.7.4 and I recently upgraded to the
latest JDK (really hoping this isn't the issue):

java version "1.7.0_04"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_04-b21)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.0-b21, mixed mode)


When Cassandra starts up with blown away lib/log dirs, I can see the Snappy
in the classpath, but it says "Native methods will be disabled" despite
having JNA. I've got the latest JNA installed at /usr/share/java/jna.jar
and symbolic linked at /opt/apache-cassandra-1.1.0/lib/jna.jar.

Hi Stephen,

Cassandra's wiki says Cassandra requires the most stable version of Java 1.6 you can deploy.

Reverting to JDK 1.6 appears to fix the issue. Is JDK 1.7 not yet supported by Cassandra?

java version "1.6.0_31"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_31-b04-415-11M3635)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.6-b01-415, mixed mode)
