Enhance Apache Cassandra Logging

Cassandra usually output all its logs in a system.log file. It uses log4j old 1.2 version for cassandra 2.0, and since 2.1, logback, which of course use different syntax :)
Logs can be enhanced with some configuration. These explanations works with Cassandra 2.0.x and Cassandra 2.1.x, I haven’t tested others versions yet.

Note (June 2020): this article is old and not really revelant anymore. If you use a modern version of cassandra, look at -Dcassandra.replace_address_first_boot option !
