Solution

  • 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 :)
