Answer 1

I had the same problem with DataStax Community 3.0.9

Step 1: Go to C:\Program Files\DataStax Community\apache-cassandra\conf and open cassandra.yaml in notepad or wordpad

Step 2: Make sure the file has the following entries. If not, add them and save the file.

hints_directory: "C:/Program Files/DataStax Community/data/hints" data_file_directories: - "C:/Program Files/DataStax Community/data/data" commitlog_directory: "C:/Program Files/DataStax Community/data/commitlog" cdc_raw_directory: "C:/Program Files/DataStax Community/data/cdc_raw" saved_caches_directory: "C:/Program Files/DataStax Community/data/saved_caches"

Step 3: Go to C:\Program Files\DataStax Community\data and make sure you have following folders:

commitlog , data , hints, saved_caches, cdc_raw

If cdc_raw folder is missing, create a folder named cdc_raw

After this, run Cassandra CQL shell again. This should solve the problem.
