stop cassandra server on mac os x

Question

How do I stop cassandra server running on a single node in my mac os x? Cassandra script doesn\'t have -stop option. Only way other than restart the mac os x, was to do a \"ps\

Answer 1

Another approach is to see which OS process has the Cassandra port open, like this:

lsof -i :9160

Sample output:

COMMAND   PID  USER   FD   TYPE             DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
java    30253 aswan  214u  IPv4 0xffffff80190dcc20      0t0  TCP *:netlock1 (LISTEN)

Then you can use "kill -9 [pid]" on that process.
