How to install Cassandra cluster locally

1. Install ccm via

   $> brew install ccm

2. Add ip aliases using ifconfig

   $> sudo ifconfig lo0 alias 127.0.0.2
   $> sudo ifconfig lo0 alias 127.0.0.3
   ...

3. Fetch Cassandra via ccm, start the cluster and check its status

   $> ccm create -v 2.1.5 -n 5 kabzon
   $> ccm start
   $> ccm status

   It should print something like this

   Cluster: 'kabzon'
   -----------------
   node1: UP
   node3: UP
   node2: UP
   node5: UP
   node4: UP

4. Fill the cluster with data

   $> ccm node1 cqlsh SOURCE '~/path/to/file/changes_01.cql';

5. Check the last operation result

   cqlsh> SELECT * FROM users;

6. If the result isn't empty, then your cluster is ready to use.
