over at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10920

the quick fix is to add the following the cassandrea init.d file 

start)
    # Cassandra startup
    echo -n "Starting Cassandra: "
+   pid_dir=`dirname $pid_file`
+   [ -d $pid_dir ] || install -m 755 -o $CASSANDRA_OWNR -d $pid_dir
    su $CASSANDRA_OWNR -c "$CASSANDRA_PROG -p $pid_file" > $log_file 2>&1

Hi,

It’s a known bug in the cassandra RPM on CentOS 7. Cassandra creates /var/run/cassandra on install, but that directory is cleaned-out on reboot by the OS. Really the cassandra init script should be creating that directory, not the RPM. We don't actually control that RPM, but we might have to roll our own or tweak some boot scripts if they don’t fix that. 

Thanks,

Andy

Only one process running when I looked, but this was straight off the ISO behavior.   That was my concern.  There may be a synchronization issue hidden in the startup scripts/configs.

The cassandra log shows:

/usr/sbin/cassandra: line 155: /var/run/cassandra/cassandra.pid: No such file or directory

and there is no /var/run/cassandra

Looks like something in the setup on the ISO needs tweaking.

Hi Mike,

Do you already have an instance of cassandra running? I have seen similar cases where you "start" cassandra on a machine where it's still running, particularly where the pidfile gets out of sync and so the init scripts think things are okay.

You may want to look at something like `ps aux | grep cassandra` and kill any existing processes that may be running, that start again via the init script.

cassandra  leaves a fatal error in its logs.  Is this expected behavior?
