Strip Datastax binary to have only Cassandra

votes

I have downloaded latest Datastax binary - 4.5.2. It comes loaded with hive, hadoop, solr etc etc which I am not interested in. I just want to bundle Cassandra with my product. I tried removing all the folders from dse-4.5.2/resources but cassandra and tried starting cassandra by executing below command from dse-4.5.2/bin

./dse cassandra

However it failed. So looks like its not as simple as deleting folders.

Has any one ever tried this?

Why not just use apache Cassandra if you only want to bundle Cassandra? – RussS

DSE will not use hive, hadoop, solr, etc. unless you explicitly ask it to. I.E. in order to start DSE with search run:

dse cassandra -s

If you just start using dse cassandra it will only start the cassandra process.

I'd recommend using apache cassandra for this. Here's a puppet module that you might like: https://github.com/heartysoft/puppet-cassandra
