---------------------------------------------------------------------
The deb postinst does a {{chown -R cassandra: /var/lib/cassandra}} - where are
you seeing that root owns it?
https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-3.0/debian/cassandra.postinst#L38
We don't create any other directories under /var/lib/cassandra - cassandra
creates the data dirs, etc. on its own for everything else, so I'm curious why
you think the {{hints}} dir is your only issue?

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Packaging
> Reporter: Stuart Bishop
> Assignee: Michael Shuler
> Priority: Minor

> The default hints directory is set to /var/lib/cassandra/hints, but this
> directory is not created when the Debian package is installed. As
> /var/lib/cassandra is owned by root, it cannot be created automatically on
> startup and startup fails.
