Stefan Miklosovic commented on CASSANDRA-15586:
-----------------------------------------------

I was testing alpha3 on FreeBSD 12.1 and it worked with some caveats. As you 
probably know, there is a system of "ports" in FreeBSD which are basically 
vanilla binary packages / sources which are taken and repackaged to be 
comaptible what FreeBSD runs with.

There is currently only Cassandra 3 port of version 3.11.6 which is taken care 
of by one of a FreeBSD port commiter. I think that the porting work will be 
done similarly for 4.0 once it is out but I can contact that person on my 
behalf to know more details and maybe I will even contribute that myself.

When it comes to tarball of alpha3, it worked but there was one stacktrace 
about not having epoll on FreeBSD and that it is skipped but otherwise I was 
able to connect to it and so on and it seemed to behave just fine.

My line of thought here is to try to provide Cassandra 4.0 port as there is for 
Cassandra 3 already. If nobody objects and seems this effort worthy, I might 
start to hack around that ...

> We want 4.0 to be easy for users to setup out of the box and just work. This 
> means having low friction when users download the Cassandra package and start 
> running it. For example, users should be able to easily configure and start 
> new 4.0 clusters and have tokens distributed evenly. Another example is 
> packaging, it should be easy to install Cassandra on all supported platforms 
> (e.g. packaging) and have Cassandra use standard platform integrations.
