Description

Using CFMetaData.compile() on a client tool causes permission problems. To reproduce:

• Start cassandra under user cassandra
• Run chmod -R go-rwx /var/lib/cassandra to deny access to other users.
• Use a non-root user to run cassandra-stress

This produces an access denied message on /var/lib/cassandra/commitlog.

The attached fix uses client-mode functionality.
