What have done so far:

• Followed advice from the link and compiled snappy from source for version 1.0.5
• Replaced snappy-java-1.0.5.jar from $DSE/resource/cassandra/lib/.

Still I face the same issue. In fact, I suspect those two .so are being picked up from somewhere else. I am on cluster grid so I can't ask them upgrade libstdc++ just for me.

What do you think I could be doing wrong.

Answer 1

Use the latest version of snappy
