The bin/cassandra script has an explanation (https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/bin/cassandra#L24):
# As a convenience, a fragment of shell is sourced in order to set one or # more of these variables. This so-called `include' can be placed in a # number of locations and will be searched for in order. The lowest # priority search path is the same directory as the startup script, and # since this is the location of the sample in the project tree, it should # almost work Out Of The Box. # # Any serious use-case though will likely require customization of the # include. For production installations, it is recommended that you copy # the sample to one of /usr/share/cassandra/cassandra.in.sh, # /usr/local/share/cassandra/cassandra.in.sh, or # /opt/cassandra/cassandra.in.sh and make your modifications there. # #[...] # # If you would rather configure startup entirely from the environment, you # can disable the include by exporting an empty CASSANDRA_INCLUDE, or by # ensuring that no include files exist in the aforementioned search list. # Be aware that you will be entirely responsible for populating the needed # environment variables. You can use just a single environment file, if you so wish.
