Description

Hi All,

Thanks mshuler for helping in installing cassandra using arch independent installers for debian + rpm packages from here : http://cassandra.apache.org/download/

For my architecture - " ppc64le" , the installation process from debian + rpm wasn't straightforward. And needed below configuration level changes.

For Ubuntu- Cassandra 3.10 release - below changes were needed
1) echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://www.apache.org/dist/cassandra/debian 310x main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cassandra.sources.list
2) sed -i -e s/Xss256/Xss512/g /etc/cassandra/jvm.options
3) Removing jna-4.0.0.jar and replacing it with latest jna-4.4.0.jar in (/usr/share/cassandra/lib)- Downloaded from here .
4) Restart cassandra service

For RHEL - Cassandra 3.0.13 release - below changes were needed
1) sed -i -e s/Xss256/Xss512/g /etc/cassandra/default.conf/cassandra-env.sh
3) Removing jna-4.0.0.jar and replacing it with latest jna-4.4.0.jar in (/usr/share/cassandra/lib)- Downloaded from here .
4) Restart cassandra service

Could you please help in introducing above changes so that cassandra can be installed from the debian + rpm pcakages and will indeed become architecture independent.

Regards,
Amit
