-------------------------------------------------

             Summary: The parameter  -XX:HeapDumpPath is not ovewritten by 
cassandra-end.sh
                 Key: CASSANDRA-12849
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12849
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: jean carlo rivera ura


The parameter  -XX:HeapDumpPath appears twice in the java process 
{panel}
user@node:~$ sudo ps aux | grep --color  HeapDumpPath

java -ea -javaagent:/usr/share/cassandra/lib/jamm-0.3.0.jar

...............................
-XX:*HeapDumpPath*=/home/cassandra/java_1477577769.hprof 
-XX:ErrorFile=/var/lib/cassandra/hs_err_1477577769.log 
org.apache.cassandra.service.CassandraDaemon
{panel}

The problem is when we have an OOM error, the JVM dump goes to 
*/home/cassandra/java_1477577769.hprof * when the correct behavior is to go to 
the path defined by cassandra-env.sh  
*/var/lib/cassandra-1477577769-pid1516.hprof*

This is quite annoying because cassandra takes into account only the path 
defined by the script init (usually that disk is not that big to keep 8Gb of a 
heap dump) and not the path defined in cassandra-env.sh

        name => 'HeapDumpPath',
        origin => 'VM_CREATION',
        value => '/home/cassandra/java_1477043835.hprof',
        writeable => '[true]'
      },
