Description

In Step 2 of the [documentation|https://cassandra.apache.org/_/quickstart.html,] there are two commands mentioned.

The commands are:

> docker run --name cassandra cassandra

> docker run --rm -d --name cassandra --hostname cassandra --network cassandra cassandra

 

Both these commands start the cassandra container. If we run first command followed by second command, the second command errors out with message "container with same name already running".

If we run the second command directly, the error message says that the network is not created.
