Stefan Podkowinski commented on CASSANDRA-13492:
------------------------------------------------
Using the existing SysV scripts is simply the fasted way to provide working
packages for new releases. The existing debian package is also making use of
SysV scripting and if we want to migrate to systemd, we should do it for both
debian and rpm. But we need a bit more time for that if we're really doing that
step and we need the RPMs now, as users are left with no alternative source.
Speaking of alternative sources, there's work on the way to get Cassandra
packaged for Fedora (see comments on CASSANDRA-12996). Looking at what's being
done there, systemd support would be included and I'm looking forward to see
how packaging would look like when done in spirit of the "Fedora way".

> We don't check whether Cassandra is running. Attempts to start Cassandra when
> it's already running overwrite the pidfile, make a confusing mess of
> logfiles, _fail to start, as the port is taken_; and then the init script
> cannot bring the first Cassandra process down because the init file has been
> clobbered.
