Sylvain Lebresne updated CASSANDRA-3198:
----------------------------------------
Attachment: 3198.patch
Yes, there is probably no reason for not fixing this. Attaching the simple
patch that only chown the directories on new installs.
I still don't really understand how previous install have worked so far with
/var/lib/cassandra being own by root but the cassandra process being run as the
cassandra user, but it costs nothing to be conservative: let's fix it for new
install and do nothing for upgrade for now.
We can always keep debating on the best way to "fix" old installs, but let's
have clean new install right now.

> when installing cassandra through the debian packaging for the first time,
> there is permission problem when starting Cassandra.
> Normally, the postinst script change owner of /var/log/cassandra and
> /var/lib/cassandra from root to cassandra user.
> there is a problem with the test which verify if threre is a need to change
> the owner of these directory or not.
> On a new install, the $2 parameter is not set and the the test is false and
> the owner is not changed.
> (simply, i think replace "&&" with "||" might work)
