Answer 1

I came across the same question.

Try the following:

Open the cassandra.yaml file, which can be found in C: \ INSTALLPATH \ apache-Cassandra \ conf

• Open the cassandra.yaml file and press Ctrl + F and find #cdc_raw_directory:

• Uncomment the line by removing the "#" character and replacing the contents with the following text: "C:/INSTALLPATH/data/cdc_raw"

So your complete line should look like this: cdc_raw_directory: "C:/Program Files (x86)/DataStax Community/data/cdc_raw"

Save the file and your service should start now.

Answer 2

I installed datastax cassandra on my D-drive in Windows 10 as D: \ datastax, got the same error, but I had to update all the paths in D: \ datastax \ apache-cassandra \ conf \ cassandra.yaml as follows:

hints_directory: D: \ datastax \ data \ hints
data_file_directories: - D: \ datastax \ data \ data
commitlog_directory: D: \ datastax \ commitlog
cdc_raw_directory: D: \ datastax \ data \ cdc_raw
save_caches_directory: D: \ datastax \ saved_caches
