Joshua McKenzie commented on CASSANDRA-13085:
---------------------------------------------
I'll add a .yaml configuration for the location of the file. Might not get to
it for a couple weeks but should be trivial.

> Key: CASSANDRA-13085
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13085
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Local Write-Read Paths, Packaging
> Environment: might be windows only considering the classname
> Reporter: Pieter-Jan Pintens
> Assignee: Joshua McKenzie
> Labels: windows
>
> We are currently trying to package Cassandra with our application.
> In windows our server does not want to start because it want to write to
> CASSANDRA_HOME\.toDelete, since we install to 'C:\program files\...' this is
> not possible when started under a non privileged user. We were hoping that
> setting pointers for the data and log dir to a writable location (somewhere
> under user home) would be enough to start cassandra but this component wants
> to write to a path that we cannot modify.
> For us there are a couple of solutions:
> 1) the location can be specified using a system property like data and log
> dirs
> 2) this file is written to the data location
> Our current work arround would be to patch this class file but that is hard
> to maintain.
