Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-3991:
-------------------------------------------

I guess the main point of JSVC is this? "Jsvc allows the application (e.g. Tomcat) to perform some privileged operations as root (e.g. bind to a port < 1024), and then switch identity to a non-privileged user." We don't even use that...

> jsvc seems to be buggy at best.  For instance, if you set a small heap like 128M it seems to completely ignore this and use as much memory as it wants.  I don't know what this is buying us over launching /usr/bin/cassandra directly like the redhat scripts do, but I've seen multiple complaints about its memory usage.
