UnsatisfiedLinkError: JNA link failure on RHEL 5.7 with Cassandra 1.1.5

Today our team tried to install JNA 3.5.0 in our UAT environment. Here is the link to make a try. At the moment of Cassandra start we have noticed the following INFO on cassandra log:
INFO [main] 2012-11-27 13:20:17,747 CLibrary.java (line 66) JNA link failure, one or more native method will be unavailable.
Very interesting thing is that, most of the JNA features works. I have decided to investigate the problem and restart Cassandra in debug mode (edit the log4j-server.properties and set the rootLogger level DEBUG) and found the details error
DEBUG [main] 2012-11-27 13:20:17,748 CLibrary.java (line 67) JNA link failure details: /tmp/jna-oracle/jna1599621626582486116.tmp: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by /tmp/jna-oracle/jna1599621626582486116.tmp)
Now it was easy to fix the problem. There is a few solution^
1) updated linux binaries for x86/amd64 against 2.1.3 and 2.2.5
2) Use JNA 3.3.0 or JNA 2.7.0 version
you can download JNA 3.3.0 from the following location http://download.java.net/maven/2/net/java/dev/jna/jna/
after successfully installation you should found the following INFO on log:
JNA mlockall successful
If you have another process along with Cassandra, you have to set ulimit for max locked memory to unlimited

Add the following lines in the /etc/security/limits.conf file for the user/group that runs Cassandra:

$USER soft memlock unlimited
$USER hard memlock unlimited

and reboot the system.

8 things every developer should know about the Apache Ignite caching

Any technology, no matter how advanced it is, will not be able to solve your problems if you implement it improperly. Caching, precisely when it comes to the use of a distributed caching, can only accelerate your application with the proper use and configurations of it. From this point of view, Apache Ignite is no different, and there are a few steps to consider before using it in the production environment. In this article, we describe various technics that can help you to plan and adequately use of Apache Ignite as cutting-edge caching technology. Do proper capacity planning before using Ignite cluster. Do paperwork for understanding the size of the cache, number of CPUs or how many JVMs will be required. Let’s assume that you are using Hibernate as an ORM in 10 application servers and wish to use Ignite as an L2 cache. Calculate the total memory usages and the number of Ignite nodes you have to need for maintaining your SLA. An incorrect number of the Ignite nodes can become a b...

Analyse with ANT - a sonar way

After the Javaone conference in Moscow, i have found some free hours to play with Sonar . Here is a quick steps to start analyzing with ANT projects. Sonar provides Analyze with ANT document to play around with ANT, i have just modify some parts. Here is it. 1) Download the Sonar Ant Task and put it in your ${ANT_HOME}/lib directory 2) Modify your ANT build.xml as follows: <?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1251'?> <project name="abc" default="build" basedir="."> <!-- Define the Sonar task if this hasn't been done in a common script --> <taskdef uri="antlib:org.sonar.ant" resource="org/sonar/ant/antlib.xml"> <classpath path="E:\java\ant\1.8\apache-ant-1.8.0\lib" /> </taskdef> <!-- Out-of-the-box those parameters are optional --> <property name="sonar.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:oracle:thin:@xyz/sirius.xyz" /> <property na...

Apache Ignite Baseline Topology by Examples

Ignite Baseline Topology or BLT represents a set of server nodes in the cluster that persists data on disk. Where, N1-2 and N5 server nodes are the member of the Ignite clusters with native persistence which enable data to persist on disk. N3-4 and N6 server nodes are the member of the Ignite cluster but not a part of the baseline topology. The nodes from the baseline topology are a regular server node, that store's data in memory and on the disk, and also participates in computing tasks. Ignite clusters can have different nodes that are not a part of the baseline topology such as: Server nodes that are not used Ignite native persistence to persist data on disk. Usually, they store data in memory or persists data to a 3rd party database or NoSQL. In the above equitation, node N3 or N4 might be one of them. Client nodes that are not stored shared data. To better understand the baseline topology concept, let’s start at the beginning and try to understand its goal and what ...
