## Interface StartupCheck

-     public interface StartupCheck

  A test to determine if the system is in a valid state to start up. Some implementations may not actually halt startup, but provide information or advice on tuning and non-fatal environmental issues (e.g. like checking for and warning about suboptimal JVM settings). Other checks may indicate that they system is not in a correct state to be started. Examples include inability to load JNA when the cassandra.boot_without_jna option is not set, missing or unaccessible data directories, unreadable sstables and misconfiguration of cluster_name in cassandra.yaml. The StartupChecks class manages a collection of these tests, which it executes right at the beginning of the server settup process.
