----------------------------------------------
Summary: Cassandra fails to start because
WindowsFailedSnapshotTracker can not write to CASSANDRA_HOME
Key: CASSANDRA-13085
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13085
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Local Write-Read Paths, Packaging
Environment: might be windows only considering the classname
Reporter: Pieter-Jan Pintens
We are currently trying to package Cassandra with our application.
In windows our server does not want to start because it want to write to
CASSANDRA_HOME\.toDelete, since we install to 'C:\program files\...' this is
not possible when started under a non privileged user. We were hoping that
setting pointers for the data and log dir to a writable location (somewhere
under user home) would be enough to start cassandra but this component wants to
write to a path that we cannot modify.
For us there are a couple of solutions:
1) the location can be specified using a system property like data and log dirs
2) this file is written to the data location
Our current work arround would be to patch this class file but that is hard to
maintain.
