Cassandra configuration
So far, we have been running Cassandra without modifying the default configuration. The default configuration is suited to a minimalistic Cassandra cluster with a single node and no security. Often, it is required to modify a few configuration files to get a multinode production cluster up and running. Here, we will take a look at the location where these configuration files are persisted and modify one of those files to facilitate the usage of the user-defined functions.
Configuration location
Depending on the operating system and the installation method you might have chosen at the beginning, the configuration files might exist in different locations.
The configuration files are usually located in one of the following directories based on your installation type:
- Cassandra package installations (
apt-getoryuminstallation):/etc/cassandra - Cassandra Tarball installation:
install_location/conf - Cassandra Windows installations:
C:Program/FilesDataStax/Community/apache-cassandra...
