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

You can use Cassandra's nodetool command, as well.

nodetool drain

The documentation doesn't say anything about it shutting down, but it works reliably for me with a single node, local server. It generally takes a few seconds to finish the shutdown, however.
