Embedded Cassandra For Mac OS M1 Chip

Question

I am trying to connect to embedded cassandra in mac Os M1 chip with Ventura Os

Cassandra Version: 3.11.14 Embedded Cassandra Version: 4.0.7

I am getting

Exception in thread "main" com.github.nosan.embedded.cassandra.CassandraException: Unable to start DefaultCassandra{name='cassandra-0', version='3.11.14'}. Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /var/folders/50/fwdzhkdd4zz_yn53s0szx2vw0000gq/T/apache-cassandra-6267611957967446273/bin/cassandra does not exist.

I tried to debug all the folders got created inside apache-cassandra-6267611957967446273 but bin folder was not created.

Help would be great.

Looking for help for fix

I was trying to run it today and what I got:

public class CassandraExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Cassandra cassandra = new CassandraBuilder()
                .addJvmOptions("-Xmx1024m", "-Xms1024m", "-Xss700k")
                .version("3.11.14")
                .build();

        cassandra.start();
        try {
            System.out.println(cassandra.getSettings().getPort());
        }
        finally {
            cassandra.stop();
        }
    }

}

Are you sure that Apache Cassandra 3.11.14 supports M1 chip?

Regarding your question about FileNotFoundException, looks like something is wrong with downloaded files.

Could you clean up ~/.embedded-cassandra directory and try again, please?

UPDATE:

If you still want to run 3.11.14 version on M1, then you can try:

public class CassandraExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Path lib = Paths.get("jna-5.9.0.jar");
        Cassandra cassandra = new CassandraBuilder()
                .addJvmOptions("-Xmx1024m", "-Xms1024m", "-Xss700k")
                .addWorkingDirectoryCustomizers((workingDirectory, version) -> {
                    FileUtils.delete(workingDirectory.resolve("lib/jna-4.2.2.jar"));
                })
                .addWorkingDirectoryCustomizers(
                        WorkingDirectoryCustomizer.addResource(new FileSystemResource(lib), "lib/jna-5.9.0.jar"))
                .version("3.11.14")
                .build();

        cassandra.start();
        try {
            System.out.println(cassandra.getWorkingDirectory());
        }
        finally {
            cassandra.stop();
        }
    }

}

But you need to download jna-5.9.0.jar library. https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.java.dev.jna/jna/5.9.0
