In http://www.datastax.com/documentation/cassandra/2.0/mobile/cassandra/install/installRecommendSettings.html it says:
Packaged installs: Ensure that the following settings are included in the /etc/security/limits.d/cassandra.conf file: cassandra - memlock unlimited cassandra - nofile 100000 cassandra - nproc 32768 cassandra - as unlimited But when I copy and paste those four lines to linux, it inserts periods in the first two lines so it looks like this: cassandra - memlock.unlimited cassandra - nofile.100000 cassandra - nproc 32768 cassandra - as unlimited This happens for both firefox and chrome. And it happened for my coworker too (though for him the spaces after “memlock” and “nofile” were deleted). If I paste to windows it doesn’t happen. Using firebug, I found the HTML source: <pre class="pre">cassandra·-·memlock unlimited¶cassandra·-·nofile 100000¶cassandra·-·nproc·32768¶cassandra·-·as·unlimited¶</pre> The HTML on that page http://www.datastax.com/documentation/cassandra/2.0/mobile/cassandra/install/installRecommendSettings.html seems fragile. According to http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/sgml/entities.html: <!ENTITY ensp CDATA " " -- en space, U+2002 ISOpub --> There were other specious characters included in some config I pasted from there, and that caused headaches. Specifically, earlier I saw: cassandraâ- memlock unlimited cassandraâ- nofile 100000 cassandra - nproc 32768 cassandra - as unlimited (with the weird â chars added). Don Donald A.
