Re: How to shutdown Cassandra?

[Aaron Morton]

There is no "shutdown" command in cassandra, it's designed to be stopped by killing it. 

The pid file is created by the *nix scripts and is not supported by the cassandra.bat file for windows. 

There have been a couple of discussions on running cassandra as a service under windows...

Hope that helps.

Hi, Can someone please let me know how to shutdown Cassandra on Windows Environment? stop-server is actually kiing the Cassandra Server and I was unable to create/get a pid file for the Cassandra process. Are there any setup steps that are needed that I am missing? Thanks, -Ram.
