Issue comes from this commit

https://github.com/apache/cassandra/commit/cd0a40d09e5c029e3cac260ecf4cb3dc02deabc7

Requirement being 

Requires: (jre-1.8.0 or jre-11)

but or is a feature added only in RHEL 8 or in rpm package version 4.13 + 

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/packaging_and_distributing_software/new-features-in-rhel-8_packaging-and-distributing-software#assembly_support-for-boolean-dependencies_new-features-in-rhel-8

I think there should be dependency on newer version of rpm, or change the requirement
