Question & Answer
Question
After updating RHE Linux, why doesn't Apache Cassandra start up?
Cause
No 'JVM' options are being passed to the 'cassandra-env.sh' script, as the following log stack shows:

Answer
We need to pass the 'JVM_OPTS' to the 'cassandra-env.sh' script by setting the environment with:
export JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -Djna.tmpdir=/var/lib/cassandra/tmp"
and defining directory /var/lib/cassandra/tmp
