CCM extension that starts nodes under Java 1.8
Project description
ccm-java8
ccm-java8 is a simple CCM extension that explicitly sets the JAVA_HOME environment variable for all CCM-managed
Cassandra nodes to an available Java 1.8 installation, which is required to run Cassandra 3.11 and lower.
While operating systems support the side-by-side installation of multiple Java versions, only one version can be selected as the default
(i.e., what version java on $PATH points to).
Cassandra's bin/cassandra launch script prefers the java binary under $JAVA_HOME, and will fallback to using the java binary on $PATH if $JAVA_HOME isn't set.
Hence, unless $JAVA_HOME or the default is explicitly set to a Java 1.8 installation, Cassandra will try, and fail, to start under an incompatible Java version.
ccm-java8 works by registering a CCM extension, and hooks into the append_to_server_env method that allows extensions to provide additional environment variables
for each Cassandra process started by CCM.
On node start, ccm-java8 explicitly sets the JAVA_HOME environment variable to a directory containing a Java 1.8 installation, or throws an exception otherwise.
