The summary seems to be that Cassandra mostly works with OpenJDK, but that it is not supported, common, or recommended. Community experiences indicates that you will encounter far more issues with OpenJDK 6 than 7. Cassandra 2.0 requires Java 7... In summary, unless you absolutely *must* use OpenJDK, you should use the Oracle/Sun JVM/JDK. =Rob
