Hello, I would be thankfull for any advice how to recover from the following problem:
1.) When I Start Cassandra, then I get the following exception: INFO 12:51:08,964 Heap size: 1573912576/1574961152 INFO 12:51:08,966 JNA not found. Native methods will be disabled.

Might this be the cause? Otherwise I am really wondering, why the system is left in such an unstable state, that I event can't start cassandra anymore. 2.) What can I do to recover from this the bst way ? I want to start cassandra again, without losing data. How to do this / what to do next? Thank you very much!! Jens
