Re: sstable_compression for system tables

2013-05-03 Thread John Sanda
The root cause was as I described. System tables were creating while running OpenJDK. Files were written to disk using snappy compression. Cassandra was later restarted with IBM Java. With the IBM JRE on a 32 bit arch, the native snappy library is not found; consequently, Cassandra is not able to r
