Joshua McKenzie reopened CASSANDRA-11949:
-----------------------------------------
Turns out this broke the deb. packaging scripts. We'll need to do the directory
creation in bin/cassandra and bin/cassandra.ps1 instead of the env.
> 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
> Fix For: 2.2.7, 3.0.9, 3.9
>
>
> 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.
