[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-4595) Nodetool commands like scrub uses hard coded data directory path to be /var/lib/cassandra

["Jonathan Ellis (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4595?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13445421#comment-13445421 ] 

Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-4595:
-------------------------------------------

Nodetool just sends JMX commands to the server, it never tries to access data directories itself.

I further note that I don't see "/var/lib/cassandra" hardcoded anywhere in the source tree.

> If your data directory is not /var/lib/cassandra, the scrub and other nodetool commands won't work. This should not be hard coded but rather be picked up from the yaml. 
> We have to create sym links to get around it.
