OS: CentOS 6.4 (server)
I have successfully installed (yum install dsc20) the cassandra database layer in my server and can connect to it using the CQL SHel (cqlsh).
If there's somebody working with docker locally, it can run this command.
docker run --name cassandra -p 127.0.0.1:9042:9042 -p 127.0.0.1:9160:9160 -e CASSANDRA_LISTEN_ADDRESS=localhost -e CASSANDRA_BROADCAST_ADDRESS=localhost -e CASSANDRA_RPC_ADDRESS=localhost -d cassandra
