 Setup

 ------
0
-* cd into the cassandra directory
0
-        cd /var/cassandra-<version>
0
-* The default data directories are in /mnt/d1, mnt/d2, mnt/d3. The
0
-  commitlog directory is /mnt/d4/commitlog. This is assumed in
0
-  the conf file provided. If you dont care to change the conf do
0
-  the following:
0
-        mkdir -p /mnt/d1
0
-        mkdir -p /mnt/d2/logs
