[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-6240) CLASSPATH logic from init
script is unused, JNA isn't loaded
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6240?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13805654#comment-13805654 ]
Eric Evans commented on CASSANDRA-6240:
---------------------------------------
This was fixed in the 2.0 branch as part of CASSANDRA-6101, and will be released as part of 2.0.2.
There is one remaining issue with the init script that has gotten hung in review. [~paravoid] if you could have a look at CASSANDRA-6131 and comment on it there, I'd be very grateful (I'll buy you a cheesesteak sandwich in Portland next summer :)).

> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Packaging
> Reporter: Faidon Liambotis
> Assignee: Eric Evans

> The init script has a classpath() function that collects all the jars and even includes this piece of code to work with the standard Debian/Ubuntu libjna-jar:
> {code:none}
> # use JNA if installed in standard location
> [ -r /usr/share/java/jna.jar ] && cp="$cp:/usr/share/java/jna.jar"
> {code}
> This seems very nice and correct, however the classpath() function is never called and is entirely unused :) Instead, /usr/bin/cassandra is called, which in turn includes /usr/share/cassandra/cassandra.in.sh, which has basically similar code to collect the jars for CLASSPATH but a) without the JNA standard path trick b) without using EXTRA_CLASSPATH (from /etc/default/cassandra) at all, so Cassandra boots without either JNA nor EXTRA_CLASSPATH, contrary to expectations.
> There are various suggestions on the web to do "ln -s /usr/share/java/jna.jar /usr/share/cassandra/lib/"; I suspect this bug to be the reason for that.
> /usr/share/cassandra/cassandra.in.sh seems smart enough to append but not overwrite CLASSPATH, so fixing the init script's classpath() to only include JNA + EXTRA_CLASSPATH (and making sure it's actually getting called :)) should be enough for a fix.
