[jira] [Comment Edited] (CASSANDRA-13433) RPM distribution
improvements and known issues
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13433?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16145967#comment-16145967 ]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've attached a patch file against cassandra-3.9 for creating a rpm which works on Centos 6. At the time we upgraded Cassandra, version 3.9 was the latest stable version. This patch file includes a rpm spec file which has a dependency on python27 from the centos-release-scl repo. The python27 package will install python into an alternate location which will not conflict the Centos 6's default installed python 2.6 . Additionally, the spec file will modify the cqlsh script to use python 2.7.
Here are the steps we use to install Cassandra 3.9 on Centos 6.9 in our environment:
{panel}
#Install Java 8, then
sudo yum install centos-release-scl # install SCL repo
sudo yum localinstall cassandra-3.9-2.scl.el6.noarch.rpm #install custom build cassandra 3.9 rpm
sudo service cassandra start
sudo chkconfig cassandra on
{panel}
If this custom rpm is not available and cassandra 3.9 is already installed through other means, then:
{panel}
sudo yum install centos-release-scl # install SCL repo
sudo yum install python27 # install Python 2.7
{panel}
Then, manually modify the cqlsh script. Add the following lines after the comment header
{panel}
\# Enable python2.7 from centos 6 SCL
source /opt/rh/python27/enable
{panel}
I hope this is helpful!

> Key: CASSANDRA-13433
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13433
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Packaging
> Reporter: Stefan Podkowinski
> Assignee: Stefan Podkowinski
> Attachments: cassandra-3.9-centos6.patch
>
>
> Starting with CASSANDRA-13252, new releases will be provided as both official RPM and Debian packages. While the Debian packages are already well established with our user base, the RPMs just have been release for the first time and still require some attention.
> Feel free to discuss RPM related issues in this ticket and open a sub-task to fill a bug report.
> Please note that native systemd support will be implemented with CASSANDRA-13148 and this is not strictly a RPM specific issue. We still intent to offer non-systemd support based on the already working init scripts that we ship. Therefor the first step is to make use of systemd backward compatibility for SysV/LSB scripts, so we can provide RPMs for both systemd and non-systemd environments.
