but the seeds nodes are running.
Machine firewall is disabled.
I also tried changing default tmp directory. I tried including JVM_OPTS=-Dorg.xerial.snappy.tempdir=/tmp to cassandra.in.sh file but the problem is remains.
Linux version 2.6.32-358.6.1.el6.x86_64 (mockbuild#c6b9.bsys.dev.centos.org) (gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-3) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Tue Apr 23 19:29:00 UTC 2013
please help me.. thanks in advance.

Answer 1

They mention this error here in the Cassandra JIRA:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4400
I had a similar error with Cassandra 1.2, and I fixed it by replacing the snappy 1.0.5 library with the snappy 1.0.4.1. If that link doesn't work, you should be able to grab that from an earlier version of Cassandra (like 1.1.x).
Basically, remove the snappy-java.1.0.5.jar from your $CASSANDRA_HOME/lib directory, and replace it with snappy-java-1.0.4.1.jar

I found an answer wrote by Erik in

You can add something like this to cassandra-env.sh :
JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS
-Dorg.xerial.snappy.tempdir=/path/that/allows/executables"
I created a tmp folder in /var/lib/cassandra/
so I added
JVM_OPTS="$JVM_OPTS -Dorg.xerial.snappy.tempdir=/var/lib/cassandra/tmp/"
Hope this help somebody
