Robert Stupp commented on CASSANDRA-8142:
-----------------------------------------
Running C* (or any other server application) as root is not a really good thing.
IMO we should refuse to start the C* daemon using the root account (uid 0) by
default but provide an option to override this when people explicitly enable
it. WDYT?
> prevent the command "cassandra start" from starting a cluster

> Key: CASSANDRA-8142
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8142
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Packaging
> Reporter: Steven Lowenthal
>
> Students often type
> "sudo service cassandra start" wrong, and type "sudo cassandra start".
> Running a package installation as root messes up their environments.
> since "start" is not a valid option on the "cassandra" command, we should
> block cassandra from starting.
