Description John Sanda 2014-02-25 19:21:03 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1069855 +++

Description of problem:
The cassandra shell script used by the Storage Node searches for and executes any cassandra.in.sh scripts in the following locations:

  * /usr/share/cassandra/cassandra.in.sh
  * /usr/local/share/cassandra/cassandra.in.sh
  * /opt/cassandra/cassandra.in.sh
  * $HOME/.cassandra.in.sh
  * <storage-node-basedir>/bin/cassandra.in.sh

The problem with all but the last one is that they can conflict with other Cassandra installations on the machine. A community user hit this problem. He installed a rpm distro from DataStax, and it caused the Storage Node to use the settings from that other installation.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Follow steps described at http://www.datastax.com/documentation/cassandra/1.2/cassandra/install/installRHEL_t.html to install an RPM distro of Cassandra 1.2.x
2. Use the default settings for the RPM-based install 
3. Install RHQ as a non-admin user
4. Start the Storage Node as a non-admin user

Actual results:
You should see log messages (from the Storage Node) like,

log4j:ERROR setFile(null,true) call failed.
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /var/log/cassandra/system.log (Permission denied)

or

INFO 15:06:56,211 Classpath: /etc/cassandra/conf

or 

INFO 15:06:56,915 Data files directories: [/var/lib/cassandra/data]

Expected results:
The Storage Node settings should be used.
