Add support for cassandra

[ncloward]

Added support for cassandra 2.0.

The gini/cassandra puppet module is not up to date with cassandra 2.0 and waiting on a pull request to be merged. This pulls from that fork and has some settings for it to run. When that gets merged we can change it to point to that version.

Also wondering if I need to add a way to auto require the 'openjdk-7-jre' package for a requirement to cassandra.

Hey sorry it's taken me so long to pick this up.

The gini/cassandra puppet module is not up to date with cassandra 2.0 and waiting on a pull request to be merged.

Did this get done in the meantime while I was being a bad maintainer? 😊

Also wondering if I need to add a way to auto require the 'openjdk-7-jre' package for a requirement to cassandra.

I'd imagine the cassandra puppet module does that for us?

If not, you can pull it off by doing something like:

unless defined?(Package['openjdk-7-jre']) {
  package { 'openjdk-7-jre': ensure => installed }
  Package['openjdk-7-jre'] -> Class['cassandra'] # ensure java pkg is installed before cassandra is
}

Forgot about this... No the pull request (gini/puppet-cassandra#14) is still sitting there... I think I will bug them about it.

I will also double check on the package stuff and get back.
