Run multiple cassandra nodes (a cluster) from the same machine?

Question

How can I run 3 cassandra nodes (actually a cluster) from my Ubuntu? I don\'t want to create 3 instances of VMWare/VirtualBox but instead, configure each cassandra node to liste

Answer 1

I've seem problems with port conflicts on a JMX library ?jamm maybe? before, that doesn't seem configured through the yaml, but maybe the launch .sh script can disable it, that appears to be a JVM option built up in the launch script.

There was also a trick with using a different loopback addresses for the server instances so they could coexist with the same ports, but that ran into the jamm problems. That was from the Packt cassandra high performance cookbook.

But as of 1.2.5 and higher, roughly, I have not been able to do this successfully.
