how the binary ‘cassandra’ will recognize the path to the file cassandra.yaml ?

[Thouraya TH <th...@gmail.com>]

Hi all;

I have, yesterday, downloaded cassandra  archive and unpack it. I have this
following structure:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/4s0xb1os3gi8dr6/cassandra.PNG?dl=0
I have change some configs in the yaml  (listen_address, seeds,
rpc_address).

My question: how the binary ‘cassandra’ will recognize the path to the file
cassandra.yaml  ?

Thanks a lot.
Best Regards.

[Paulo Motta <pa...@gmail.com>]

in a tarball installation, the location of cassandra.yaml is defined by the
property $CASSANDRA_CONF defined on bin/cassandra.in.sh

this file is located by the bin/cassandra binary, and can be in one of the
following directories:
bin/cassandra.in.sh
~/.cassandra.in.sh
/usr/share/cassandra/cassandra.in.sh
/usr/local/share/cassandra/cassandra.in.sh
/opt/cassandra/cassandra.in.sh

you may find documentation on that by reading the "CONTROLLING STARTUP"
section of your bin/cassandra executable
