If you are working on a latest MacBook pro with M1 chip. Installing Cassandra and starting it might throw an error.

Steps 1: Installed Jdk8 2: Installed Cassandra 4.0.1

How to start: /opt/homebrew/opt/cassandra/bin/cassandra -f

Output:

Solution:

  1. Find where is jna-..*.jar located. you can do this using find /opt/homebrew/ -name '*.jar' | grep cassandra
  2. Browse to https://search.maven.org/artifact/net.java.dev.jna/jna/5.8.0/jar and download the jar from top-right downloads button on the page.
  3. Replace your jna-..*.jar file with the one you downloaded. In my case i replaced jna-5.6.0.jar. Remember to keep the file name as your previous file name. Example I moved jna-5.8.0.jar and renamed as jna-5.6.0.jar

mv /Users/mansooralikhan/Downloads/jna-5.8.0.jar /opt/homebrew/Cellar/cassandra/4.0.1/libexec/jna-5.6.0.jar

  1. Restart cassandra

To echo Mansoor's answer, I'll add that the version of JNA shipped with Apache Cassandra 4.0 unfortunately is not compatible with the M1 architecture.

To remedy this, head to the "downloads" section of the JNA GitHub repo, where you should find the latest version of the JNA jar file.

https://github.com/java-native-access/jna#jna

Download JNA version 5.8 or higher, and replace the existing jna-5.6.0.jar file in Cassandra's lib/ directory (tarball-based installs).

Just to add to the answers here, I wanted to note for posterity that the issue with arm64 on Apple M1 devices not supported by JNA 5.6.0 has been raised with the Apache Cassandra project previously.

More recently, it has been reported in CASSANDRA-17019. I brought it up with the project devs/contributors and hopefully it gets reviewed and resolved soon. Cheers!
