This is not really a Cassandra problem: it's a basic Java packaging problem.
First of all, the java source file is not what the runtime needs to see in your jar; it needs the class file which was generated by compiling it. That compiled class needs to be in a folder corresponding to it's package, which I infer is 'org.apache.cassandra.triggers' from your earlier jar creation command (obviously not the command you used to create the jar you just showed us the dump of): jar cvf /etc/cassandra/triggers/org.apache.cassandra.triggers.InvertedIndex.jar org.apache.cassandra.triggers.InvertedIndex.class The META-INF looks fine, but that class should be listed as org/apache/cassandfra/triggers/InvertedIndex.class When you compile the source, does the compiler NOT put the binary in an appropriate folder?
