cassandra error after yum update <p>Running CentOS 7.2, I did a yum update, and now I get errors when running cassandra. </p> <pre><code>[idf@node1 conf]$ grep -e 'tracetype_query_ttl' -e 'roles_validity_in_ms' -e 'enable_user_defined_functions' -e 'windows_timer_interval' -e 'enable_user_defined_functions' -e 'roles_validity_in_ms' -e 'role_manager' -e 'batch_size_fail_threshold_in_kb' -e 'tracetype_repair_ttl' cassandra.yaml [idf@node1 conf]$ [idf@node1 ~]$ sudo cassandra -v 2.1.14 </code></pre> <p>The command line shows this. As far as I remember, I did not change the <code>.yaml</code> file. In any event, I reverted to an earlier very similar version that I know was working and I still get the same error. When I search for these variables they aren't even in the <code>.yaml</code> file?</p> <pre><code>[idf@node1 ~]$ sudo cassandra [sudo] password for idf: [idf@node1 ~]$ CompilerOracle: inline org/apache/cassandra/db/AbstractNativeCell.compareTo (Lorg/apache/cassandra/db/composites/Composite;)I CompilerOracle: inline org/apache/cassandra/db/composites/AbstractSimpleCellNameType.compareUnsigned (Lorg/apache/cassandra/db/composites/Composite;Lorg/apache/cassandra/db/composites/Composite;)I CompilerOracle: inline org/apache/cassandra/io/util/Memory.checkBounds (JJ)V CompilerOracle: inline org/apache/cassandra/io/util/SafeMemory.checkBounds (JJ)V CompilerOracle: inline org/apache/cassandra/utils/ByteBufferUtil.compare (Ljava/nio/ByteBuffer;[B)I CompilerOracle: inline org/apache/cassandra/utils/ByteBufferUtil.compare ([BLjava/nio/ByteBuffer;)I CompilerOracle: inline org/apache/cassandra/utils/ByteBufferUtil.compareUnsigned (Ljava/nio/ByteBuffer;Ljava/nio/ByteBuffer;)I CompilerOracle: inline org/apache/cassandra/utils/FastByteOperations$UnsafeOperations.compareTo (Ljava/lang/Object;JILjava/lang/Object;JI)I CompilerOracle: inline org/apache/cassandra/utils/FastByteOperations$UnsafeOperations.compareTo (Ljava/lang/Object;JILjava/nio/ByteBuffer;)I CompilerOracle: inline org/apache/cassandra/utils/FastByteOperations$UnsafeOperations.compareTo (Ljava/nio/ByteBuffer;Ljava/nio/ByteBuffer;)I INFO 19:42:06 Hostname: INFO 19:42:06 Loading settings from file:/home/idf/cassandra.yaml INFO 19:42:06 Node configuration:[authenticator=AllowAllAuthenticator; authorizer=AllowAllAuthorizer; auto_snapshot=true; batch_size_fail_threshold_in_kb=50; batch_size_warn_threshold_in_kb=5; batchlog_replay_throttle_in_kb=1024; cas_contention_timeout_in_ms=1000; client_encryption_options=&lt;REDACTED&gt;; cluster_name=Test Cluster; column_index_size_in_kb=64; commit_failure_policy=stop; commitlog_directory=/var/lib/cassandra/commitlog; commitlog_segment_size_in_mb=32; commitlog_sync=periodic; commitlog_sync_period_in_ms=10000; compaction_large_partition_warning_threshold_mb=100; compaction_throughput_mb_per_sec=16; concurrent_counter_writes=32; concurrent_reads=32; concurrent_writes=32; counter_cache_save_period=7200; counter_cache_size_in_mb=null; counter_write_request_timeout_in_ms=5000; cross_node_timeout=false; data_file_directories=[/var/lib/cassandra/data]; disk_failure_policy=stop; dynamic_snitch_badness_threshold=0.1; dynamic_snitch_reset_interval_in_ms=600000; dynamic_snitch_update_interval_in_ms=100; enable_user_defined_functions=false; endpoint_snitch=SimpleSnitch; hinted_handoff_enabled=true; hinted_handoff_throttle_in_kb=1024; incremental_backups=false; index_summary_capacity_in_mb=null; index_summary_resize_interval_in_minutes=60; inter_dc_tcp_nodelay=false; internode_compression=all; key_cache_save_period=14400; key_cache_size_in_mb=null; listen_address=10.0.0.60; max_hint_window_in_ms=10800000; max_hints_delivery_threads=2; memtable_allocation_type=heap_buffers; native_transport_port=9042; num_tokens=256; partitioner=org.apache.cassandra.dht.Murmur3Partitioner; permissions_validity_in_ms=2000; range_request_timeout_in_ms=10000; read_request_timeout_in_ms=5000; request_scheduler=org.apache.cassandra.scheduler.NoScheduler; request_timeout_in_ms=10000; role_manager=CassandraRoleManager; roles_validity_in_ms=2000; row_cache_save_period=0; row_cache_size_in_mb=0; rpc_address=10.0.0.60; rpc_keepalive=true; rpc_port=9160; rpc_server_type=sync; saved_caches_directory=/var/lib/cassandra/saved_caches; seed_provider=[{class_name=org.apache.cassandra.locator.SimpleSeedProvider, parameters=[{seeds=127.0.0.1}]}]; server_encryption_options=&lt;REDACTED&gt;; snapshot_before_compaction=false; ssl_storage_port=7001; sstable_preemptive_open_interval_in_mb=50; start_native_transport=true; start_rpc=false; storage_port=7000; thrift_framed_transport_size_in_mb=15; tombstone_failure_threshold=100000; tombstone_warn_threshold=1000; tracetype_query_ttl=86400; tracetype_repair_ttl=604800; trickle_fsync=false; trickle_fsync_interval_in_kb=10240; truncate_request_timeout_in_ms=60000; unlogged_batch_across_partitions_warn_threshold=10; windows_timer_interval=1; write_request_timeout_in_ms=2000] ERROR 19:42:06 Fatal configuration error org.apache.cassandra.exceptions.ConfigurationException: Invalid yaml.
