Robert Stupp commented on CASSANDRA-13300:
------------------------------------------
I don't want to appear to be the bad guy here, but I want to note that PPC
architecture is not supported. Supporting another CPU architecture is more than
just updating a jar file and just starting C* or running unit tests or dtests.
We do a lot of stuff in our code base, which is thoroughly tested on x64 CPUs
(looking at you, memory fences, volatiles, unsafe). Additionally, we pull in a
couple of 3rd party libraries, which are probably only tested on x64 CPUs and
are not under our control. Further, there are probably non-neglectible hardware
differences between x64 and PPC affecting I/O (disk and network).
Anyway, as Jason already mentioned, since this change is not a bug fix any bug
or fix for a security issue, it would have to go into trunk.
