start script occasionally causes flapping when used with runit
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-1114
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1114
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core
Environment: ubuntu Karmic
Reporter: Cliff Moon
Priority: Minor
Attachments: start_script.patch
Starting cassandra in the foreground is the preferred way of running it under
something like runit or daemontools. Currently, the start script will execute
java in a subprocess when starting in the foreground. This is a problem for
runit and daemontools since they both register the pid of start script.
Occasionally the start script process will fail, leaving the java process
running. The runit supervisor will then start flapping since it thinks
cassandra is down even though there is a java process running.
The attached patch will run cassandra in the same process as the start script
when run in the foreground. This will cause runit and daemontools to have the
correct behavior.
