[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-6749) -Dcassandra.boot_without_jna=true does not actually disable JNA

Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-6749:
---------------------------------------------

Perhaps the naming of the flag is slight misleading in favor of brevity, but it's not meant to disable JNA, simply allow booting without it.  If JNA succeeds it isn't even checked and there has never been a way to have JNA in the CP but disable it in cassandra.

> The JVM argument '-Dcassandra.boot_without_jna=true' appropriately allows Cassandra to start if the jna jar file *is missing* from the lib directory. However, in the case that the jar *does* exist, this flag does not actually disable JNA. 
> I am basing this assertion on the fact that even when I use this flag I see my entire heap space is preallocated (mlockall.) and by restarting after removing the jna jar file, the heapspace is not preallocated.
