Description

The reason: The current CMD_PATT regex can't match very long command lines.

If a lot of Java options are used (thus causing the command line for Cassandra to be very long) the value of /proc/PID/cmdline is truncated before the phrase "CassandraDaemon" (at exactly 4096 characters) so the regex "cassandra.+CassandraDaemon" fails to match.
