If you need a specific (and old) version of Cassandra, you may consider
using "yum install
https://archive.apache.org/dist/cassandra/redhat/40x/cassandra-4.0.0-1.noarch.rpm";
instead of setting up the YUM repository and install the package from
it. The URL to the archived RPM files are pretty stable, even the
Cassandra 2.x RPMs are still available today, and their URL remained
unchanged since the day one they were published.

Hi,
when configuring the Apache archive for Cassandra RPMs, with file

Older package versions (non-latest) are not found in the /repodata/
nor installable.
While older packages are present in the repository:

I assume the /repodata/ is also mirrored from the main repository:
https://downloads.apache.org/cassandra/redhat/40x/
And thus, the file list does not contain the other packages:
https://archive.apache.org/dist/cassandra/redhat/40x/repodata/repomd.xml
Primary file list:

<version epoch="0" ver="4.0.3" rel="1"/>
<version epoch="0" ver="4.0.3" rel="1"/>
<version epoch="0" ver="4.0.3" rel="1"/>
I would assume older available versions are part of the repodata and
thus installable.
Can you please advise on this?
Kind regards,
