stop cassandra server on mac os x

Question

How do I stop cassandra server running on a single node in my mac os x? Cassandra script doesn\'t have -stop option. Only way other than restart the mac os x, was to do a \"ps\

Answer 1

If you've installed cassandra via homebrew, use brew info cassandra and it will tell you how to load/unload cassandra using launchctl. This worked better for me than the other answers here.

Commands

brew info cassandra To see status of cassandra

brew services start cassandra To start cassandra

brew services stop cassandra To stop cassandra
