Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-3564:
---------------------------------------------

The debian/init script should handle it (and has an is_running function that you can use and get the pid from)

> Cassandra handles flush in its shutdown hook for durable_writes=false CFs (otherwise we're *guaranteed* to lose data) but leaves it up to the operator otherwise.  I'd rather leave it that way to offer these semantics:
> - cassandra stop = shutdown nicely [explicit flush, then kill -int]
> - kill -INT = shutdown faster but don't lose any updates [current behavior]
> - kill -KILL = lose most recent writes unless durable_writes=true and batch commits are on [also current behavior]
> But if it's not reasonable to use nodetool from the init script then I guess we can just make the shutdown hook flush everything.
