I'm using Oracle Java 7 on a CentOS 6.5 system. Running 'java -version' works correctly and shows I'm running Oracle Java. I don't want to use OpenJDK. This is good since I notice that the Datastax documentation in several places says to install Oracle Java, not OpenJDK.
I want to install Datastax Cassandra 1.2.15 using Yum. I added the Datastax repository and then ran yum install dsc12-1.2.10-1 cassandra12-1.2.10-1 Guess what! Yum tries to install java-1.7.0-openjdk ! This is in spite of the fact that a) I already have Oracle Java installed, and b) the docs say not to install OpenJDK. It appears that the Datastax rpm file is violating its own documentation. What am I doing wrong? How to other people get around this problem? Is it worth somehow rebuilding the rpm so that it's not dependent on OpenJDK or is installing from a tarball the only way to resolve this? Thanks for any advice.
