Deploy latest cassandra on top of datastax-ddc ?

[Mohamed Lrhazi <Mo...@georgetown.edu>]

Would simply overriding this one jar file do it? else could you please
share a procedure?

[root@avesterra-prod-1 ~]# rpm -qa| grep stax

datastax-ddc-tools-3.2.1-1.noarch
datastax-ddc-3.2.1-1.noarch

[root@avesterra-prod-1 ~]# cp /tmp/apache-cassandra-3.6-SNAPSHOT.jar
/usr/share/cassandra/apache-cassandra-3.2.1.jar

[root@avesterra-prod-1 ~]# systemctl restart cassandra

[root@avesterra-prod-1 ~]# cassandra -v
3.6-SNAPSHOT
[root@avesterra-prod-1 ~]#



Thanks a lot,
Mohamed.

FWIW, given the general .jar-ryness of the product, IRC discussion
suggested that this mode may be less-insane than I would personally presume.

I am still not recommending it! :D

Thanks Robert.

FYI.. for the curious.. what I did resulted in a cluster where i tested
these two things:

- nodetool status shows all 8 nodes as Up and Nomral.
- A couple of cql select statements seem to return correct data.

I have no inclination to keep using such a setup.. just reporting the
experiment :)

Thanks,
Mohamed.

Per jeffj@IRC :

"'ant release' creates a binary package that's runnable."

because I have no clue... :)

So, after doing an ant build from the latest source... how would one
"install" or deploy cassandra?  Could not find a document on the install
from source part... any pointers?  All I find makes use of yum or apt
repo's, or deploy from binary tarball...

Thanks a lot,
Mohamed.

This seems like an odd thing to want to do. Why do you believe it is likely
to work?
