dse-server from DataStax as prebuild-requirenment

[2pk03]

Hi community,

Not sure as what I should classify this, but we try to translate pixie for ARM processors (FreeBSD and Power Architecture) - which works great so far. Unless we hit a dependency which wants to download the dse-server (DataStax Enterprise Server) as a pre-build version. Since pixie is on the road to an CNCF project I honestly don't know how to solve this. We didn't found the source within the datastax repo, but the docker images (https://hub.docker.com/r/datastax/dse-server/). Question now:

• can we somehow replace DSE with an Apache Cassandra stack?
• would the dependency to an non-open source requirement not break CNCF requirements?
• or can pixie be built without DSE?

Honestly we didn't found a solution - every tip / help is highly appreciated.

thanks and stay safe, --Alex

Hi @2pk03,

The DSE dependency you are seeing is just one for testing purposes (to make sure we are able to trace Cassandra messages). We don't use DSE in the Pixie build itself.

You could just disable that test and its dependency if you just want to build Pixie itself.

Can you also please post more details on the actual error you're seeing?

Hi @oazizi000,

thank you - we are working on and comment ASAP. As arm64 is not (yet) supported we donate the outcome, if it works ;)
