Setup VNode Cassandra cluster in local machine

Here I am using Ubuntu Linux machine and also tool called Cassandra Cluster Manager (ccm).

Steps

1. :~/opensource$ mkdir cassandra

2. :~/opensource$ cd cassandra/

3. :~/opensource/cassandra$ git clone https://github.com/riptano/ccm.git

4. :~/opensource/cassandra$ cd ccm/

5. :~/opensource/cassandra/ccm$ ls

ccm  ccmlib  license.txt  MANIFEST.in  misc  NETWORK_ALIASES.md  README.md  setup.py  ssl  tests

6. :~/opensource/cassandra/ccm$ sudo ./setup.py install

7. :~/opensource/cassandra/ccm$ ccm create -v 3.11.2 -n 3 my_cluster --vnodes

10:22:00,960 ccm INFO Downloading http://archive.apache.org/dist/cassandra/3.11.2/apache-cassandra-3.11.2-bin.tar.gz to /tmp/ccm-Wo1DBu.tar.gz (36.656MB)
