> Java executable check succeeds despite no java on PATH

> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug

> Reporter: Angelo Polo
> Assignee: Angelo Polo
> Priority: Low
> Fix For: 3.0.x, 3.11.x, 4.0.x

> The check -z $JAVA on line 102 of bin/cassandra currently always succeeds if
> JAVA_HOME is not set since in this case JAVA gets set directly to 'java'. The
> error message "_Unable to find java executable. Check JAVA_HOME and PATH
> environment variables._" will never be echoed on a PATH misconfiguration. If
> java isn't on the PATH the failure will instead occur on line 95 of
> cassandra-env.sh at the java version check.
> It would be better to check consistently for the java executable in one place
> in bin/cassandra. Also we don't want users to mistakenly think they have a
> java version problem when they in fact have a PATH problem.
> See proposed patch.
