Does Cassandra 4.1.4 support Java17? Or only Cassandra 5.x

Question

Just wondering if the current stable version Cassandra 4.1.4 support Java17?

I am currently using java11 works fine.

I try to change JAVA_HOME to openjdk@17 but get the JavaClassNotFound error when try to run it, also saw apache cassandra website says support java 17, so just wondering if it only support cassandra 5.x.

Answer 1

You are correct, Cassandra 4 will run on Java 8 and Java 11.

Cassandra 5 runs on Java 11 and Java 17.
