Install Apache Cassandra from the [DataStax Community Edition] 1.

Simple example:

class { 'cassandra':
  cluster_name => 'YourCassandraCluster',
  seeds        => [ '192.0.2.5', '192.0.2.23', '192.0.2.42', ],
}

If you're running on Amazon EC2 (or a similar environment) you might want to set the broadcast_address and the endpoint_snitch accordingly.

class { 'cassandra':
  cluster_name      => 'YourEc2CassandraCluster',
  seeds             => [ '192.0.2.5', '192.0.2.23', '192.0.2.42', ],
  listen_address    => $ec2_local_ipv4,
  broadcast_address => $ec2_public_ipv4,
  endpoint_snitch   => 'Ec2MultiRegionSnitch',
}

The module has been tested on the following operating systems. Testing and patches for other platforms are welcome.

• Debian Linux 7.0 (Wheezy)
