Is i386 still officially supported?

[Angelo Polo <la...@gmail.com>]

Is i386 still officially supported in 3.11.x and 4.0? I could swear I saw a
statement on cassandra.apache.org to the effect that C* was supposed to run
on the i386 architecture, but can't find it anymore.

i386 and  x86 are listed in
java/org/apache/cassandra/utils/Architecture.java and they're *not* listed
in the comment in that file listing architectures excluded from official
support - not sure what status that confers.

Thanks,
Angelo Polo

`ant test` made it through several hundred test suites before it died:
apache-cassandra-4.0-alpha4-src/build.xml:1927: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError:
Java heap space

Some individual tests also error out with an OOM, e.g.
IndexSummaryTest#testLargeIndexSummary.

Best,
Angelo

If you had an environment available, I would be real curious about what
happens when you start it up, particularly when we started writing larger
SSTables.

That said, I don't think we've fielded this question in like 8yrs, so I
doubt there is any interest in supporting it if it doesnt just kind of work
anyway.

Hopefully someone else has some more concrete details.
