Answer 1

I ran into the same issue myself.

Try the following:

Open the cassandra.yaml file which can be found at C:\INSTALLPATH\apache-cassandra\conf

1. Open the cassandra.yaml file and press Ctrl + F and look for #cdc_raw_directory:

2. Uncomment the line by removing the "#" symbol and replace the contents with the following: "C:/INSTALLPATH/data/cdc_raw"

So your full line should look like: cdc_raw_directory: "C:/Program Files (x86)/DataStax Community/data/cdc_raw"

Save the file and your service should start now :)

I installed datastax cassandra on my D drive in windows 10 as D:\datastax, got the same error but I had to update all paths in D:\datastax\apache-cassandra\conf\cassandra.yaml like this :

hints_directory: D:\datastax\data\hints
data_file_directories: - D:\datastax\data\data
commitlog_directory: D:\datastax\commitlog
cdc_raw_directory: D:\datastax\data\cdc_raw
saved_caches_directory: D:\datastax\saved_caches
