A simple script that creates multi node clusters on a single machine.
On the mailing list and IRC there are many questions about Cassandra
internals. I understand where the questions are coming from because it
took me a while to get a grip on it.
However if you have a laptop with a descent amount of RAM 2 GB is
enough for 3-5 nodes, (4GB is better). You can kick up a multi-node
cluster right on your laptop. Then you can test failure/eventual
consistent scenarios such as (insert to node A, kill node B, join node
C) till your hearts content.

I also wrote a script to help dealing with firing up a Cassandra cluster on
localhost. It is a bit more extensive in that it deals with how many
node you want (though on a local host you won't probably be able to go too
crazy)
and allow to easily create/start/stop/remove a cluster (and a few more
things).
I'm using it mainly for testing Cassandra code but it can probably be useful
as well for proof-checking the way Cassandra works.
