> I noticed that there was this log message when I started a Cassandra node on
> a machine in AWS on Ubuntu Jelly (22.04).
> {code:java}
> WARN [main] 2022-07-27 11:04:16,731 StartupChecks.java:200 - jemalloc shared
> library could not be preloaded to speed up memory allocations
> {code}
> Hence, I went ahead and I tried to install that package, on 22.04,
> {code:java}
> $ apt search libjemalloc
> Sorting... Done
> Full Text Search... Done
> libjemalloc-dev/jammy 5.2.1-4ubuntu1 amd64
> development files and documentation for jemalloc
> libjemalloc2/jammy,now 5.2.1-4ubuntu1 amd64
> general-purpose scalable concurrent malloc(3) implementation {code}
> So I did apt install libjemalloc2.
> But the problems didnt go away because cassandra script didnt recognised it.
> The value of JVM property the jemalloc startup check is reading from is an
> environment property called CASSANDRA_LIBJEMALLOC (1) which is set by us
> looking into various library paths, trying to find "libjemalloc.so.1"(2). But
> there is no "1" version of it. We have version "2".
> {code:java}
> $ sudo dpkg -L libjemalloc2

> I checked what Debian is offering and Bullseye and Buster do not have
> libjemalloc1 anymore, they have version 2, 1 is gone. Strech and Jessie have
> version 1 and not 2 (obviously). Ubuntu Jelly has 2, I am not sure when they
> started to ship 2 instead of 1 but I assume that if a user runs Cassandra on
> "anything recent", this is broken, jemalloc is not used and I think that
> performance can suffer quite significantly.
> This logic is present from 3.0 onwards.
> The patch should fix this and it should take both versions into account. I
> will provide patch with my solution shortly.
