Mahdi Mohammadi updated CASSANDRA-11949:
----------------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: In Progress)
I tested the 2.2 branch on "Windows 7". It's fine except that it requires me to
run some command to enable some policy in the PowerShell console to be able to
create the directory.
> GC log directory should be created in startup scripts
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-11949
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11949
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Joel Knighton
> Assignee: Mahdi Mohammadi
> Priority: Minor
>
> In [CASSANDRA-10140], we enabled GC logging by default, since the overhead
> was low and asking people providing diagnostics to restart can often make it
> more difficult to diagnose problems.
> The default GC log path is set to {{$CASSANDRA_HOME/logs/gc.log}} in
> {{cassandra-env.sh}}, a directory that is not present in a fresh
> clone/install. Even if logback creates this directory later in startup, it is
> not present when the JVM initiates GC logging, so GC logging will silently
> fail for this first Cassandra run
> I haven't tested this in Windows but suspect the same problem may occur.
> Since lots of tooling around Cassandra won't create this directory, we should
> instead consider attempting to create it in our startup scripts.
